Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Single Action Army Frontier Scout represents a significant chapter in the legacy of Colt revolvers, re-emerging in 1956 after a 15-year hiatus. This second generation of the renowned Single Action Army was introduced during a time when Western films and stories were captivating the American public, rekindling a fascination with the cowboy era. The Frontier Scout appealed to fathers who wished to share a piece of that mythic legacy with their sons, providing a tangible connection to their childhood dreams of becoming cowboys. The Colt Frontier Scout, chambered in .22 Long Rifle, offered a more manageable and accessible option compared to its larger caliber counterparts, ensuring that the spirit of the Wild West could be enjoyed by a new generation. The Frontier Scout achieved impressive production numbers, with approximately 246,000 units manufactured before its discontinuation in 1970, eventually reaching around 358,000 including its variations. Following its production, Colt shifted focus to the Peacemaker 22 and a "New Frontier Scout," but the legacy of the Frontier Scout continues to resonate with collectors and shooting enthusiasts, reflecting both Colt's storied history and the enduring allure of the American West.

The region that would become Nebraska was largely unsettled, inhabited mainly by various Native American tribes, until the mid-19th century. The passage of the Homestead Act in 1862 led to a wave of American settlers moving westward. This migration gained even more momentum following the end of the Civil War, and by 1867, just two years after the war's conclusion, enough settlers had arrived for Nebraska to apply for statehood. On March 1, 1867, Nebraska was admitted as the 37th state of the Union. The state capital was relocated from Omaha to Lancaster, which was subsequently renamed Lincoln in honor of the recently assassinated President Abraham Lincoln. Since then, Nebraska has been a dynamic and integral part of the United States.
