Walter Knott and his Ghost Town theme parks in Buena Park and Calico reinforced many of the popular images and storylines of the Old West. As I accumulate more such images, they'll reside here. Stay tuned. |

The following Calico / Knotts images were contributed by Dave Thompson (MANY THANKS!!) whose young face appears in some - and when I get that damned Round Tuit I'll append his emailed notes to each one. I promise! And I'll append attributions to all the contributions, soon as I get straightened out. |

Harold and Lucile Weight emitted vast amounts of material on the Old West. Their periodical CALICO PRINT (published in TwentyNine Palms) (no connection to Knott's Calico Ghost Town) was a treasure trove of historical nuggets, and I'll be looking for these and more.
