Welcome to my website on the Wild American West!

I am Darla Sue Dollman and I have lived in the American West most of my life.  I love writing and talking about the history of this great land.  Since moving to Texas I've heard some pretty wild tales, and the wildest part about these tales is that they're true! This is the place where I share those stories with you.

When I was just a kid growing up in Colorado the most talked about event of the year was Cheyenne Frontier Days across the border in Wyoming.  Rodeo, parades, concerts, food, and fun, Cheyenne Frontier Days had it all, and it still does, year after year.  And year after year there has been dedicated people working behind the scenes to make Frontier Days special.  On September 11, 2009, the Cheyenne Frontier Days Old West Museum will hold its Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony starting at 5 p.m.  Tickets are $40 per person and the seating is limited, so call them as soon as you can to make your reservation at (307) 778-7290. 

I would also recommend checking out the Old West Museum web page because there is just so much going on at the museum that you don’t want to miss. They currently have a retrospective exhibit of the art of sculptor Chris Navarro.  I had the privilege of seeing his work displayed at Colorado State University once and it is outstanding. The exhibit will be on display through October 14th.  The museums website is at www.oldwestmuseum.org/
