Coming up: Budd Boetticher,
Commanche Station (1960)
Didn't know there was a Charleston, Arizona. I will have to do some stuying and use that as a setting since I come from a town called Charleston, Arkansas.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't find Charleston, AZ, on the map. A couple of desolate looking places there.
ReplyDeleteCharles and Oscar, there are a few pics of what was left of this old mining town in the 1930s at http://tinyurl.com/6sw9cgh
ReplyDeleteWas in Broken Bow a few years ago - this place muct be gone. Maybe not? Enjoy the photos
ReplyDeleteI think I could enjoy getting lost in Knowles Canyon!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is a constant source of inspiration, Ron. Marvelous pics.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
Love that Knowles Canyon photo. Looks like two strip technicolor. Much happiness in 2012, Ron!
ReplyDeleteCharleston was a hangout for the anti-Earp forces during the OK Corral period.
