10/10, but I love Westerns. As others have pointed out, Lou owned a hotel and Beau was a cousin to the Mavericks, not their brother. And it's a bit odd to describe Silas as the "highest ranking" of the Barkley household staff since we never saw any other household staff, except perhaps waiters passing drinks at a large party. But it's nice to give Napoleon Whiting some recognition.
