All our politicians should read Crockett's <em><a href="http://www.juntosociety.com/patriotism/inytg.html" rel="nofollow">Not Yours To Give</a></em>.

I'm not sure Wiliam H. Bonney, aka Billy the Kid, was artful in his role in the Lincoln County Range War. How artful is a sledge hammer? And you bet, William Clark, or Red Hair as the Indians called him, was a man's man, a genuine frontiersman who brought true grit and hard-assed experience to the almost ridiculous physical/motivational challenges of the great expedition, and balanced out Lewis' inexperience. Then comes Jean Baptiste Charbonneau, manly enough to include erudition and sophistication, but also to have severely stabbed a trapper for simply loitering to perhaps steal horses in a fur camp. Being horseless meant death from the Blackfeet (and Baptiste also had a very short temper, which may/may not be so manly).

Any of the Texas Rangers, they protected Texas settlers from Indians and Mexicans with nothing but a horse, a gun and a keen vision of what Texas should be. Take your pick.

As the films would portray him, he was well spoken, well read, could play cards like a sun-of-gun, and could put a new vent in your skull from a hundred yards. I would have to go with Doc Holiday.
