MYSTERIOUS WHITE INDIAN

MEMORABILIA IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING

Folks, most anthropologists believe that our American heritage consists of various mixtures of colonists and immigrants joining Indians to survive. Here is a strange story entitled THE MYSTERIOUS WHITE INDIANS wherein the authors feel that Norseman account for the light complexion Mandan Indians. Their conclusions are here spelled out and documented.

ARTIST GEORGE CATLIN

LIVED AND PAINTED THE MANDANS

This is the history of their people. 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 rarer Indian tribes 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 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 pioneers. During my research, I discovered that thousands of our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized on some book dealer’s shelf. 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.

I hope you appreciate the effort.

THE MYSTERIOUS

WHITE INDIANS

By Gladwell Richardson

MYSTERIOUS WHITE INDIAN

MEMORABILIA IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING

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.

 Thanks,

Tom
