FRONTIERADO WEEK: FOUR NEGLECTED WILD WEST FIGURES
With the Frontierado holiday coming up this Friday, August 5th (and isn’t it great to have a holiday that falls on the Friday of its three-day weekend, not on the Monday?) it’s time for another seasonal post. Since Balladeer’s Blog loves to cover under-the-radar subjects today’s post is about four real Wild West figures who don’t get the pub of the big names. My attitude, as always, is that in real life the legends of the west were thugs and worse but Frontierado is about the myth of the west, not the grinding reality.
1. TEXAS BEN THOMPSON – That’s our number one figure depicted to the left. Ben and his brother were often called Texas Ben and Texas Billy and I think using the nickname as often as possible will help Ben’s myth get more attention. Texas Ben served in the Continue reading

FRONTIERADO MEAL-MAKING MADE EASY WITH BUFFALO GAL
Here at Frontierado international headquarters things are as hectic as you would imagine with the Frontierado holiday coming up this Friday, August 5th. Various mayors, governors and heads of state are all contacting me to get the official Frontierado imprimatur on the events they are planning in their communities. I’m never too busy to pass along a tip, though and for the past few years I’ve gotten my buffalo steaks, buffalo butt chili and other items from Buffalo Gal! Express delivery is available and Buffalo Gal now carries elk meat as well!

THE TOP 4 FRONTIERADO MOVIES: NUMBER 3 – POSSE (1993)
POSSE is a terrific western about a gang of African American gunfighters (plus the goofiest Baldwin brother) involved in an action-packed epic journey across the American west. The Frontierado holiday (which will be here Friday August 5th) is the perfect time of year to hunker down with this film while drinking a Cactus Jack or a Deuces Wild or two. I’ll review the recipes for those mixed drinks in a few days, for now we’ll focus on the third-place movie on our countdown.
Posse stars Mario Van Peebles, who also directed, as Jesse Lee, the brooding, revenge-driven hero of the saga. He and all but one member of his gang, our titular posse, are soldiers fighting in Cuba during the Spanish-American War in 1898. A dangerous assault they carry out turns out to be Continue reading
