Nostalgia; the longing for the past to possess the present


On Saturday April, 25, 2009 the annual horse drive down Main Street in Three Forks, Mt. will take place. This is how the western cultured people of modern day hold on to the the stories and traditions of those who tamed this land and lived to set the traditions that we hold so dear to our hearts today. The annual horse drive is just one more avenue for the truly western at heart to say that "it's O.K. that Monday morning I'll hop a flight to L.A. and get some business done, today...I'm a cowboy with a herd to move. That is a classic example of the past possessing the present, or of the average person longing for the past to "replace" the present.
