Good find on this article, And yes it were my first thoughts too when i heard the game would be in 1908.

I always thought by that time the west was over,Almost world war 1!

It is kinda interesting to know that in 1908 there were still people living on the frontier towns way cut-off from modern society that they lived in the past actually.
