Slingin' Seamus: Difference between revisions

==Legacy==

"Slingin' Seamus" is the best known gunslinger of the [[Urcean frontier]], and is considered emblematic of the entire "old south" period. In the years and decades following his death, as public interest in the frontier grew, his life became subject of significant legend and many tales were attributed to his life. The exploits of Slingin' Seamus have been put to film several times, most notably in the 2003 [[Kino Primo]] production ''[[Last train to Somerville]]''. Larcus' grizzled apperance and determination has also been influential on many fictional characters of the [[Frontier film]] genre. [[Yonderre|Yonderian]] director [[Mathieu le Fêvre]] has referred to Larcus as "the quintessential outlaw". Yonderian {{wpl|crooner}} [[Dom Martinez]] recorded the ballad ''Slingin' Seamus'' which details the life and crimes of Larcus for his album ''[[Dom Martinez sings songs of the Frontier]]''.

Michael Colla, Larcus's companion, would survive the Somerville train heist and, following a pardon, would tour the country throughout the 1880s and early 1890s with a stage show detailing the life of "Slingin' Seamus", bringing Colla wealth and notoriety. During the [['97 Rising]], he was recruited by Legitimist forces as a brevet colonel of cavalry, which he raised among outlaws and cowboys in Afoncord. Colla was killed in battle during the conflict.
