My opinion :
Non veteran PCs should know about general WW historical background.
They may have heard of/ seen bizarre occurrences in their native area.
For them to learn of new details and far locations, i'd suggest :
If they want info on past events, I'd say they have to gain/extort/bargain it from well informed people or group like the agency, texas rangers, back east masons, the court, the explorers society, friends in high places, lacy o'malley, the prospector... and last but not least Indian sages.

Objet: [DL] What the players know
I'm wanting to give my players some notes on the history of the Weird West,
with more detail becoming available to them the more they play. It's details
on the history, the current main players in the west and the location's in
the West.
If anyone has any ideas or if someone has done something similar I would
like to hear from you. I would also like to do a similar project for Hell on
Earth. I see the whole thing as a progression running with the players as
they game more in both settings.
Look forward to any ideas.
