Those S.O.B.s At Tarryall!

By Fred Huston

GOLD AND NEW SETTLEMENTS MEMORABILIA

IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING

FACTUAL REPRESENTATION

NOT RETREAD HISTORY

Folks, fourteen men found "gold as big as watermelon seeds" in a unfounded town in Colorado. They made everyone else who journeyed there to find their "own creek beds and washes". Being a bunch of characters as they were granted them the name: The S.O.B.s. of Tarryall.

Here is the rest of the story entitled

Those S.O.B.s At Tarryall!

There were many a western story published – the common ones about Cowboys and Indians are listed on EBay every day but the rarer ones about the. Collectors treasure them and their price guide value rises every day. They are hard to find. I hunt them out because really the better, untold and rarer stories were published in the rest.

Here’s one of ‘em.

Following my retirement, I have dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our western heroes. During my research, I discovered that thousands of our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized on some book dealer’s shelf gathering dust. Because Old Western History and Memorabilia was printed before computer indexing, I index every item I sell.

This complete index will be bound and included in this offering at no additional cost.

Humbly, I am trying to keep our history alive.

I hope you appreciate the effort.

Those S.O.B.s At Tarryall!

Folks, sooner or later – Genealogists are going to realize that their family kinfolks are laying on some dealer’s dusty shelves. If I can contribute to finding one little name or photo of that long lost ancestor you have been waiting to find, it’s worth all the time I spend. As a tribute to the honor of our American Ancestors, Forefathers, Soldiers, and our Native American Indians, my indexed listings will include all names mentioned in the story from this time on.
