The old west

One thing that I have always wondered about the old west is how on earth they survived without central air conditioning! It was always so hot from what I understand.

  • I am not even sure they had air conditioning at all.

I never recall seeing or hearing about even window air conditioning systems in movies and even history. Well, in history come to think of it the concept of air conditioning didn’t even exist. That is why it always made me wonder. I have seen fans and stuff. But when it was really hot wouldn’t those fans just blow around the hot air? That is what I would think. I know that I can not survive without air conditioning in the hot summer months here where I live. If I had to live in the old west I would for sure die before any cowboy even shot me! I would die from no air conditioning. We have all become so reliant on air conditioning today. Also heating come to think of it. But at least with heating in the old west if it was cold, they could light a fire or use a hot water boiler. I am still wondering though what on earth did they do for some kind of air conditioning? When I really think about the old west and even the caveman days it makes me really appreciate the technology we have today in heating and air conditioning. It must have been really rough living in the days before air conditioning existed. I am glad I was not alive back then!
