GURPS Old West

Good call, Sunset is based (very distantly) on the real meeting between Earp and Mix. And, as I pointed out earlier, Hollywood routinely set Westerns in the present until WWII. There was a village of Native Americans (most of whom tried to live in a more or less traditional style) near Hollywood in the 1912-1930 period. William S. Hart the first Cowboy Movie Star, spoke Native American languages more fluently than he spoke English. Some Native American groups claimed he was initiated into their nation. Hollywood is where it is because it was part of the Wild West and somewhat lawless.

Oh, if you want a copy, look here.
