Welcome to SageBrush Crossing
SageBrush Crossing is the fictional town at the heart of 1871: A Time Before. It’s home to a growing cast of characters whose stories explore the choices, relationships and everyday moments that shape a life.
But 1871 is more than a fictional world.
Through stories, cards, journals, and real-world experiences, 1871 creates opportunities to connect, reflect, remember, imagine and make new stories of our own.
Explore it for yourself. Use it in your work with others. Or bring 1871 into your community, venue or organisation.
There’s more than one way into SageBrush Crossing.
The story before the storyworld
Reflections of a Cowboy
Before SageBrush Crossing became a town filled with characters and stories, some of the ideas at the heart of 1871 began somewhere much more personal.
Reflections of a Cowboy is my story of identity, adversity, reflection and learning to question who we think we’re supposed to be.
In many ways, it’s where the trail towards 1871 began.
