Old West? edit

I have a hard time calling Northeast Texas the "Old West" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.173.54.157 (talk) 05:43, 16 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Why? In general the Old West was the area west of the Mississippi River, and has even been applied to areas east of there at an earlier time. Today many Americans think of the western United States as the Rocky Mountain states, but all of Texas was part of the Old West. Narthring (talkcontribs) 15:33, 16 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
