The '''Wild West''' of [[North America]] was very different to how it was depicted in films and other fiction of the [[21st century]]. Life in the frontier towns sprung up as [[European]] settlers spread across North America, and life for them was not as violent as was often portrayed. Each town had a [[sheriff]] to keep the peace and enforce the law. A similar role was that of the [[United States Marshal|US Marshal]]s, who were appointed at government level by the [[US Marshals Service]].
