Once Harry got a taste of the easy š° it would be difficult to settle down to working long days as a cowboy, just scraping by on the paycheque.
Pintertonās were ābigā in those days.
The name āBigā could be short for āBigelow.ā Or the Sheriff was just a big person. š

Howdy redheadpei! That's a good point. About Big I mean. Very possible and I was thinking the only explanation was that it was his nickname for being so large. Wish I had a photo of him.
You are so right about the easy money but it just makes no logical sense to me why people want to risk everything in a robbery instead of saving their money up. Cowboys didn't earn much but if they wanted to save up it was easy because they didn't have hardly any expenses.
