Mission Statement

The Law Dawgs and Pistoleros of the Olde West is a California non-profit organization established by volunteer historical re-enactors dedicated to the preservation of a period of United State history commonly known as "The Old West."  Re-enactments of authentic and historical Western history for the time period 1845 through 1895 are performed for the public at large, historical societies and foundations, the California State Parks, and public and private schools.

The Old West re-enactments include, but are not limited to, the following historical events: Confrontations between lawmen, outlaws, and townspeople; range wars between cattlemen, sheepherders, and farmers; family fueds and the history and operation of the three main methods of transportation during the 1800's--the stagecoach, wagon and steam driven trains.

In portraying these historical events, the Law Dawgs and Pistoleros of the Olde West use original or reproduction firearms, gun leather, clothing, hats, boots, saddles, horse tack, and other period equipage and accoutrements of 1845 through 1895 at locations utilizing steam passenger trains, mounted horsemen, stagecoaches, historical buildings and town sites.
