Twilight Of The Old West

: “America, early 1900's. The era of the cowboy is coming to an end." - Red Dead Redemption.
: "We all dream of being a child again, even the worst of us. Perhaps the worst most of all." - The Wild Bunch (1969).
== The Concept ==
As the new century ticks in, the West continues to face the ending of it's wild ways. But what if, in an alternate timeline, the West does not cave to the pressures of civilization? What if the west remains, at least in a more modern form, more wild?
