- The American Old West was a period of history of western North America (usually the Western United States, though many times including the Canadian prairies, northern Mexico, the South and sometimes even the Midwest). Most often the term refers to the late 19th century, between the American Civil War and the 1890 closing of the frontier. Terms Old West and Wild West refer to life beyond the settled frontier. While this terminology could logically place the setting as far back as the American colonial period, it is usually meant to signify, the late 19th century, the area from the "Frontier Strip" (i.e., the six U.S. states from North Dakota south to Texas) west to the Pacific Ocean.

- The American Old West was a period of history of western North America (usually the Western United States, though many times including the Canadian prairies, northern Mexico, the South and sometimes even the Midwest). Most often the term refers to the late 19th century, between the American Civil War and the 1890 closing of the frontier. Terms Old West and Wild West refer to life beyond the settled frontier. While this terminology could logically place the setting as far back as the American colonial period, it is usually meant to signify, the late 19th century, the area from the "Frontier Strip" (i.e., the six U.S. states from North Dakota south to Texas) west to the Pacific Ocean. Sometimes the tier of states east of the Frontier strip (Minnesota to Louisiana) is also seen as the "Wild West" because of their stance as gateways. As a setting for works of fiction, the period quickly became so popular as to define its own genre, the "Western." Although such works often put forth a highly romanticized conception of the era, they also promoted great interest in its true history.
- During part of that time, Nick Knight was in the Old West along with LaCroix and Janette. Whatever they did (the details of which were never specified), they came under suspicion of murder. A wanted poster was issued, with rough sketches of their faces. It offered a reward of $1000 for their capture. Travelling on his own, Nick came upon the camp of a man whom he took simply for a drifter. He stayed there that night, thinking that the other man was behaving in a friendly way when he offered a drink of whiskey. However, it was laced with curare; and the poison had an effect even on a vampire's constitution, though it did not kill him, but simply intoxicated him. When Nick was incapable of resistance, the supposed drifter revealed himself to be a bounty hunter. Only because LaCroix had been following him and killed the man did Nick escape capture.
