The Old West was characterized by a notable level of violence, often romanticized in popular culture. While gunfights and lawlessness did occur, particularly in boomtowns and during conflicts such as cattle drives and gold rushes, much of daily life involved more mundane challenges. The violence was often exaggerated, with actual crime rates being lower than commonly depicted. Nonetheless, the era did experience significant confrontations, including conflicts with Native Americans and outlaws, contributing to its notorious reputation.
