Peter was exactly right when he said this…”in a High Noon situation every man in town would have met the train, shotgun in hand.”
Too right! High Noon is fundamentally bull-crap.
People forget that after 1865 American towns were populated by a generation of men who’d survived the Civil War
And once you’ve stood in the line at Chickamauga, Gettysburg, or Shiloh, on either side, three or four jumped-up thugs with pistols probably didn’t scare you all that much.
For a real life example see, the Great Northfield, Minnesota Raid.
