Yes. Bad food, no vaccines and little medical care, besides the civil war, wiped out millions of men before they turned thirty. Young people of 14 routinely married because they were only young and strong for a few years. A mans usefulness was impaired drastically by 40, IF he survived animal attacks, Indians, gunfights, and syphilis from the occasional night on the town. Even having a cavity in those days could give you a fatal infection with no antibiotics. Believe me, these are the good old days!!

@lzad3764 So true! Mothers had all the same dangers, PLUS getting pregnant!

Everyone, look up the movie, Pat Garrett and Billy the kid. It is a great 70s film directed by Sam Peckinpah. Kris kristofferson, his band, Jason robards and Bob Dylan had roles, Dylan writing the soundtrack with "knocking on Heavens Door" written for a scene in the film. Just looking up that scene on utube is astonishing for it's great moment that practically encapsulates the entire movie in 3 minutes. Turns out Bob was LITERALLY writing lyrics about guns and dying...
