I agree and felt that way also.

The world was a different place in Elmers day, and most of the worlds "newbies" don't understand this. Elmer even said that a man carried his own justice with him, and that it often meant the difference in getting home safely at night. I think so many things have changed since those days that much of the truth about our past may be gone forever. There's too much "interpretation" these days. History doesn't require interpretation, and neither did men like Elmer. It was simply what you saw in front of you.
