I mean let's not kid ourselves, the swashing and the buckling and the fact that there MUST be bad guys means that there's going to be a body count - but let's face it. Here we are in Telanovela-land so it's going to be less gruesome that Star Trek.

physical culture & body building
medicine shows
carnivals & the circus
sex work
organized crime
& ever so many fights

Plus the 19th century is the source of: artificial purple dye, electricity, coast to coast instant communications, gas lighting, photography, the bowie knife, the colt revolver and the gatling gun, cardboard boxes, cigarettes, refrigerated train cars, bodybuilding as entertainment, modern gymnas
