Apr. 26, 1966 - A touch of the Old West in Paris - Bob Mottura, a 37-year-old Italian interior decorator - he was given the name BIG WHITE CROW by a Sioux INdian Chief - has established Fleurines Gulch, a genuine copy of an Old West trading post and Redskin reservation, 27 miles north of Paris. He has equipped Fleurines Gulch with a traditional Main Street. It has a sherriff's office, hotel, barber's shop and mortician conveniently located next door to the firearms dealer. Forty cowpokes and Indians from the neighboring state of Seine-et-Oise have worked for four months to get Fleurines Gulch into shape. Most of the Indians are ex-factory hands. Said Big White Crow: Of course I figger Fleurines Gulch will be a big commercial success. After all, my pardners and I have sunk 244 grand (80, 000 pounds) into the reservation/ But he added For me, this is a climax of a life dedicated to Indian lore.
