Make sure your spurs is sharp and shiny as it's time for another Six-Gun Justice Conversation segment. Join co-host Richard Prosch as he chats with historian, actor, historian, and Western wordslinger Bill Markley...
History, especially American history, and travel have fascinated Bill Markley since he was a boy growing up on the family farm in Pennsylvania. Moving to Pierre, South Dakota in 1976 to work for the state Department of Environment and Natural Resources was a natural fit for Markley, where he immersed himself in local history and participated in Civil War and Western frontier reenacting. Markley has been in films such as Dances With Wolves, Son of the Morning Star, Far and Away, Gettysburg, and Crazy Horse. He worked in Antarctica, traveled the South Pacific, kayaked and backpacked in Alaska, chaperoned a Boy Scout troop to Japan, and has camped, hiked, and rode horseback through the West. He writes for South Dakota Magazine, Roundup, True West, and Wild West.
