Contents of this volume:
Ben Thompson wins a Tombstone
It was said of the notorious
desperado Ben Thompson,
"to offend him was to invite
extermination". Probably
had more killings to his
credit than any man in Texas.
Activities around Austin,
feud with newspaper man,
Col. Cardwell. Gambles in
card game and wins a marble
tombstone, but is buried
in an unmarked grave – this
is his story.
Killing of Billy the Kid
The True and detailed story
of his Death as related
by John W. Poe to E. A.
Brininstool in 1919. (Includes
photo from old tintype of
Billy the Kid taken shortly
before his death). Speaks
of Pat Garrett, (also has
photo) sheriff of Lincoln
Co, where Billy was in jail.
Billy escapes just a few
days before he was to be
executed. Garrett hunts
and pursues the Kid and
finds him in Fort Sumner
and the events surrounding
his death on July 14, 1881
are described in great detail
from eye-witness view.
The Old Frontier; Events Of Long
Ago
By W. K. Baylor: "THAT RED-HEADED
MAN", account of white man
who joined in with Comanche
Indians (he was "red on
the inside"). Account describes
this man’s pillaging and
blood-shedding along with
other scoundrels and Comanches.
Speaks of Jack Co and massacres
of McKinney family, Mason
and Camerons, and brutal
killing of Collins. Who
was this viscious creature?
A Frontier Home
By T. U. Taylor. Describes
home located in the forks
of Bear Creeks, Parker Co.
It was on the real frontier
– border of raw Indian country.
Describes life and routine
in excellent detail: cooking,
cleaning, schooling, social
life, family life, adventures,
fears and conquests.
The Faithful Dog On The Frontier
I.D. Ferguson. Fort Belknap
and events in 1864– wilderness
of the far West at that
time. Speaks of the town
of Elm Creek where lived
a certain George Bragg.
His friend Dock Wilson is
attacked by Indians at his
front door which led to
brutal fight. Indians (800-1000
or so) then went for Mrs.
Fitzpatrick’s where loyal
dog fiercely sought to withstand
the marauders but was found
later with 15 arrows – a
sign of his valor and courage.
Indians proceeded to annihilate
in brutal fashion – account
is very sad.
The Adventures Of Jack Dobell
5th Installment
(we have the others – just
ask) – J. C. Duval. More
on events of Mexican war
around Coletto, Goliad…of
Col. Fannin, Holliday and
the daring & incredible
escape of Wm. Hunter. Gripping
story.
The Manuel Flores Fight
By Charles Badden. Flores,
working for Mexican Gov’t
after defeat of Santa Anna,
still tries to repossess
Texas for Mexicans. Being
pursued by Rangers, he flees
and is killed on banks of
San Gabriel River. Martha
Emmons, Edward Burleson,
James C. Rice, William Wallace,
Wilbarger, Albert Sidney
Johnston
