Shouldn't Chalkley Beeson be added to Wild Wild West?

Chalkley Beeson, cattleman, lawman, and owner of the famed Long Branch Saloon in Dodge City. I added the Notables sticker to his profile (which needs and asks for a rework). I think this 4th cousin should be added to the Wild Wild West project profiles. Happy to work on the profile if no one else is interested.

I see he is categorized Wild Wild West but could use the project box.
I did  not even KNOW we had a wild west!  I have an uncle, mom's sister's husband - and his father is part of the wild west for sure - there was not a profile but I created one and it is just begun, not yet very fleshed out, he met and hung out with Jessie James, Kit Carson, Calamity Jane, Buffalo Bill, etc according to his book - the Last Frontier - 1930 MacMillian Sutley-77
Yes, Wild Wild West a sub-project of Westward Ho. I had not stumbled upon it before, either. Now has to be checked out given where I live and that Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday and Chalkley Beeson are all cousins of various stripes. Sounds like the perfect thing to balance out all the migrating Puritans.
Good way to think about it, this guy tried to go home after eight years, back to Pennsylvania, but he did not stay long, headed back out west.

Chalk Beeson is now added to Wild Wild West. As new coordinator for Wild Wild West I've rewritten and re-sourced his profile. If you are interested in helping revitalize the Wild Wild West project, please send me a private message.
