Its nice to see some of our history being preserved for future generations. Speaking of Duvall, in that interview they showed his barn that had been converted into a game room/entertainment area.

In his expectance speech he said something that stuck with me. He commentated on how the "Cowboy" is one thing that is truly American. Last weekend I was pheasant hunting in Iowa. This consisted of several days fill with walking through incredible farm land. Some of which was peppered with crumbling vintage barns, out buildings, trucks and windmills. Somehow this translated into a commentary about the vanishing American family farm, which saddened me greatly. I kept thinking about Duvall and his quote. Seeing this made me proud to have American heritage and it made me wish there was something I could do. Perhaps organizations like NL Kotting can help. Thanks for the post... what a great image.
