During the winter of 2003-2004, a mysterious disease rampaged through the United States and Russia unknown to a majority of people, killing thousands of people, and maiming scores of livestock. This is the story of the least-known epidemic in history, as told by the people who conquered the illness in the end.

Each year, the Albany County 4-H Council holds a county-wide carnival, and each club in Albany County must make a booth to run during the carnival. This year, the carnival theme was “Marti Gras” (even though the date did not coincide with Marti Gras). Not to be deterred, the High Plains 4-H Club, under the leadership of our carnival committee chairman, David Decker, made our traditional rubber-band shooting gallery booth, which of course featured the notorious HIGH PLAINS CARNIVAL CONTRAPTION. Not to sound like I’m bragging, but it won 1st place at the carnival.

Mention the West to the average person, and images of gunfights, barfights, and train robberies appear in their mind. Recently. historians have begun to refute these visions, though. Learn about what made the Wild West really quite tame compared to today’s civilization from the words of historians like Thomas E. Woods, Jr, Terry Anderson, and Peter Hill. Then listen to old westerners like Buffalo Bill Cody, J. H. Beadle, and a gold miner tell what they knew about the “Wild West.”
