The Legends of the American West is a historical reenactment troupe based in the Mother Lode and San Joaquin Valley of Northern California. As active participants of the Old West Living History Foundation, the Legends are dedicated to preserving the enduring courage, spirit and excitement of the Western Frontier, circa 1870 to 1899. Educational historical drama, light humor and fictional characters are portrayed in an authentic and historically accurate manner, with original costuming and firearms used during the era. Reenactments do not glorify violence, but focus on the stories of those who fought for a way of life. The Legends promote strict firearm safety and of course, use only blanks in their performances, thata way we can "live" to "play" another day. There's always lots of shootin' and action, with 'nary an unsatisfied customer ('cept the ones up "Boot hill" way, them folk are quiet as corn growin').
 

The Legends are available at a nominal cost, with performances to fit your special event. Give us a holler to round up the Cowboys, Soiled Doves, Law Dawgs and Society Ladies for: Fairs, Fundraisers, Shotgun Weddings, Private lynchins', Birthdays or any special occasion you have. If you're interested in joining, assisting our organization, or would like a schedule of performances, corral one of our gunslingers or gals at any event, or contact us via phone or E-mail.
