Tom Correa: Glencoe, CA, United States; About me? Well, I'm married and live in the California foothills. I'm originally from Hawaii, of Portuguese ancestry, semi-retired, Catholic, Conservative, and not Politically Correct. I became a U.S. Marine at age 17. Yes, it's still in my blood. As for my Cowboy ways, you can blame that on growing up on my grandfather's ranch in Kunia on Oahu. As for living the Cowboy lifestyle, while age and injuries have slowed me down, I haven't sold my horse or my saddle yet. As for my writing style? I write the same as if we were talking over a cup of coffee. And while I write a lot about my interest in Old West history, you'll also find articles on here about current events, horses, cattle, guns, current events, horses, livestock, guns, ranching, farming, rural America, Cowboy values, Conservatism, and more. I enjoy giving you with factual articles, so I do my own research, explore newspaper archives, review documents, and more. I try to steer away from the BS fan worship, conjecture, speculation, personal opinions, and fiction to give you what I've found.
