BB-80011 Gunfighter’s Glory

FOREWORD

One of the strangest of human enigmas is the confident  attitude  of  each  succeeding  generation   that they have not only discovered  sex,  but  added  new   and   unusual   embellishments   hitherto unknown. By some  odd,  seemingly  inherited  quirk,  the average mortal in any given age presumes incorrectly   that   their    forefathers    treated intercourse and other related sexual activity with something akin to disgust, and engaged only in that copulation necessary to reproduce.

Nothing could be farther from the truth.

Granted, there are few historical  documents  available  relating  to  sexual  participation   in   the distant past, and little  literature  survives  to  tell  us  what occurred in the darkened  bedrooms  of  our  ancient  sires.  However,  based  on  what   little   data we  do  have,  and  intelligently  considering   the   natural human drive for pleasure,  it  is  logical  to assume that there is  no  area  of  sexual  enjoyment  that hasn’t been engaged  in  since  the  centuries  before Christ.

Since the beginning of the golden age of the printing  press,  first  the  church,  then  the  state,  then a combination of both have tried to totally restrict any printed allusions to,  or  documentation  of,  sexual practices, which precluded the passing on of such information except by word of  mouth.  While  the descriptive verbiage was handed down from age to age, the sex acts and the deviations performed    by our ancestors were not, forcing us to only speculate.

The ban on all references  to  sex  in  literature  until only recently would lead the unsuspecting to believe that all our fathers and mothers, and grandparents going back through the years, were paragons of virtue, as were their peers. No one of honor frequented whorehouses, engaged in extra-or pre-marital sex, and there was no oral copulation  save among the savages and the seamier populace. Among the gentility, sex was pristine and pure, and virgins of either gender were the rule and not the exception.

On the very face of it, that anomaly is ridiculous  and farfetched. Mortals, being blessed (or cursed)  with an intrinsic  desire  for  self-gratification,  could  not and would not assume the role  of  celibates  in any era, regardless of social strictures. Their strong inherent sexual drives would propel them into rapturous trysts, no matter how  clandestine  they must be. As hunger and thirst must be appeased, so must the sex urge. It is normal, and natural.

In this book, the  author  shatters  the  false  illusions that were previously  given  of  the  old  west in books and movies, portraying characters and events in the true light of what actually might have transpired. No punches are pulled, the fairy tale concept is cast aside, and the  reality  of  people  in  the late 1800’s is depicted incisively without hiding under a cloak of juvenile morality.

This is not a story for the reader of commerical Western pulp and pap. It is strong, virile, and blunt.   So, if you have true grit, let’s  swing  in  the  saddle  and go!
