Old Western Film Titles

StoneofSilverCreekBelow I have listed some writing prompts taken from old western film titles.  At the museum where I work, I have been creating an inventory of film stills in a particular collection.  This inventory consists of only the film titles of the film stills since they are organized by the lead actors.  So far I have inventoried Tim McCoy, Buck Jones, Hoot Gibson, Kenneth Maynard, and William S. Hart.  These are a few of the titles I thought might work as writing prompts because of the imagery or ideas they convey.  Take a few minutes to skim over them and follow one if it leads you down a trail of words.
