For anyone brave enough to wade into some of what has just been euphemistically referred to as "famous threads" (which has more to do with vehemence than verisimilitude), the subject of "halation" has come up before.
At the very least, by searching for that word, you'll get to read a chapter from John Zeissig's archived but not forgotten "Once Upon a Time in the West."
There's a fair bit of chaff back there with the oats, so take a bandana and a shovel.
