What a crafty, sneaky rascal, 7 February 2000
7/10
Author: helpless_dancer from Broken Bow, Oklahoma

This man went to so much trouble to own his own personal territory that you almost rooted for him. He even spent 3 years learning calligraphy so he could forge the necessary land grant documents. Too bad the U.S. government go suspicious and made his little plan harder to pull off. An unusual western and a different role than we are used to seeing Price in.
