RIDING TO THE HOUNDS
PRAIRIE STYLE
By Walt Coburn
Folks, this is the first (and last, probably), time I will ever head a story indexing dogs and how in the world did a hound dog story get in an old western anyway. You could a knocked me over when I found ‘RIDING TO THE HOUNDS” PRAIRIE STYLE by Walt Coburn written up in an old western that no respectable dog owner would have on his reading list.
Here, substitute wolves and coyotes for the fox, change up the saddle and the riding clothes, spice up the conversation and forget about manners- and read the history of Wallace Coburn who was one of the first to own a sizeable pack of hounds in the northeastern part of the Montana cow county who started out with a three-months-old lubberly hound pup.
AND THERE WAS A SIMPLE REASON FOR THE HOUNDS EXISTENCE
BOUNTY!
$5.00 on coyotes
$10.00 - $15.00 on prairie wolves
$25.00 – timber wolves
Please read this. It is not fair for me to review this article. I am not a hound dog man but for those of you who are, you’ll find all the old stories of hound dogs in the old west. Remedies for skunk odor – tomato juice – dog food use in the old west, breeding and whelping. There were many a western story published – the common ones about cowboy and Indians are listed on Ebay every day but the rarer ones about the hound dogs of the old west like this one are seldom found. Collectors treasure them and their price guide value rises every day. They are hard to find. I hunt them out cause 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 pioneers. This is the first time I have indexed a bunch of hound dogs but during my research, I discovered that thousands of our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized. 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 history alive.
I hope you appreciate the effort.

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 Forefathers and Ancestors, my indexed listings will include all names mentioned in the story from this time on.

EBay has instituted severe penalties for sellers who do not garner FIVE STAR feedbacks, please contact us immediately for a complete refund including return postage, If for any reason, you feel that we have not earned your positive 5 star feedback.
While others clip ads from magazines, I save history. It’s a shame that our past is being lost. It’s as simple as that.
My wife kids me that after I find a piece I like, buy it, read it, research it, take a picture, scan it, write the blurb, pay the Ebay entry fee and commission, that I end up making about 50 cents an hour. But, OH HOW I LOVE THIS OLD WESTERN HISTORY. What a story, Rare Story!!! Great Pictures. You will love it as it was published in this old complete western magazine of many years ago. The issue is in excellent condition, the cover is pristine and in vibrant color.
As clearly stated in my description, this is featured story in a rarely found and seldom read unusual and complete western magazine. I don't give out name of publication or date because I have caught competitors copying my index and work and trying to sell it as theirs. I hope you understand.
Buyer pays postage of $3.50 First Class Postage to U. S. $5.00 Priority Mail. $13.25 Priority (Air Mail) for International Mail. Texans must pay 8-¼ % sales tax. Thanks,
