I just watched Hidalgo today after not seeing it for a few years.
Maybe I'm just stupid. I don't know.
Seems to me however, that if finding out the true story of Frank Hopkins is so important to the people that posted in this forum, someone would ask the History detectives to investigate this man's story and do a show on it.
Just seems.

Scott,
There are 2 schools one that simply declares Hopkins was a total fraud and one that says he was not. I know that he championed the Mustang and honestly that is all I care about. These idiots that are trying to destroy a dead old man should be ashamed of themselves and I gladly argue with them only because the man is dead and deserves to rest in peace without people trying to destroy his tall tales. The horse is what is really important however. |

Just as long as people know they are tall tales. Some may be suckered into believing they're true. And some don't really mind if that happens. |

You know, there is no way anyone these days can actually prove or disprove anything about Frank Hopkins, or, for that matter, anything else. Face it, folks, records back in those days weren't the greatest in the world. I'm not saying the Ocean of Fire race actually happened, but I'm also not saying a race of the KIND didn't happen. This is what irks me about people these days, they are way too quick to just dismiss any and everything. Sorry to tell you people this, but you don't know everything, and you never will. That's what makes life worth living: mystery and discovery. |

It's all been disproven, Angelmci. You're not listening. |

Witch Hazel,
What has been disproven? If you mean the race, it has not, (a good example of this is a man that had an ancestor that actually worked for Buffalo Bill Cody, has proof of it and yet the museum says he did not, gosh sound like Hopkins doesn't it) if you mean Hopkins work with Mustangs was disproven, then you are sadly mistaken as it has been proven true. If you mean the BS Hopkins told about other things then I again repeat, so what he was an old man and his tales grew with the telling. Why are you so hell bent on destroying an old man who is in the grave. Why not just enjoy the tales and realize the old did champion an animal that has served mankind for centuries?
Again, I do not care what lies the old man told, I care that he championed the horse. The only reason I stay on this blog is to fight arrogant pricks that want to destroy an dead old man's stories and seem to forget the good he did. |

If you say so, but I don't think it can ever actually be proved false. Why, you may ask? The people that disproved it WEREN'T THERE. |

It takes somebody really brave to smart off about a dead man. Hey Arnold how does it feel to be brave? No one really cares about the old man's lies what those of us that care, do care about is the horse. I can't wait to see you old and decrepit telling your whale stories. It will happen if you live to be old. Stories grow with the telling by old men. So get over it brave boy. |

Arnold, Grow up and realize that there are things beyond your trying to destroy. You ARE trying to destroy and I will not back down from you crap. The old man is dead. you are fighting legend, do you think for a minute all the legends from George Washington to the Alamo are 100% correct. If you do you are the biggest fool to walk the face of the earth. Again grow up and just let an old mans tells be what they are tells and remember that he did champion the Mustang. Give the old man credit for that and stop trying to destroy his legacy. Continue and you prove your self to be a real fool. |

Can you prove your statement though? I cannot prove what I "think" and neither can you! Why not just let this cynicism go and enjoy the "fact" that a man tried to champion a breed of horse? |

Why can't you just face the fact that Frank Hopkins was a fraud? |

Why can't you face the fact that Him being a fraud is not what is important. What is important, and it can be proven, is that he championed the cause of saving a breed of horse. I simply do not like people that attack someone that cannot defend themselves. It is cowardliness of the first degree. Leave the fairy tale alone and let the good live. Who cares if the old man blew his tales up. I am certain every time he told them they grew with the telling, SO WHAT! |

Stephen Shahane, thank you for your affirmation of what I had to say. Also, you're correct. I don't care who you are, any time you tell a story, you tend to embellish. I'm not saying that everything Hopkins had to say was true, but there is more at stake than that. For example, talk to a fisherman, any fisherman. When he tells you a story about a big fish he caught, it may start out at ten feet long, then it's twenty, next thing you know he's telling you about a thirty foot long fish. Did Hopkins embellish like this? Probably. Does it matter? Not really. |

Angelmci, First you are welcome and second I was brought up in a home where I was taught to stand up for those that could not defend themselves. This old man is dead and gone and cannot defend himself or even prove anything he has said. However, it is a historical fact that he defended the Mustang breed. No matter what else he said or told he did stand up for that breed of horse. Therefore the dead old man deserves for someone to stand up for him. Well here I am. I raise my horses not to make a profit but to improve the breed. Hopkins was a better man the I because he fought for them, stood up for them and gave his life for them. I hope someone one day stands up for me when I cannot stand up for my self. |
