FACTUAL REPRESENTATION

NOT RETREAD HISTORY

Folks, I hope that I have done justice to this great western artist. I found this quite by accident while going through a stack of unusual western magazines that I had obtained for my collection. I will let the pictures speak for me. Here is the story entitled

MONTANA’ GREATEST WOMAN ARTIST

and the great author, Helen Clark gives a testimonial in text and photographs of the magnificient work of western artist, Elizabeth Lochrie. 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 this western artist 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 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.

SHE KNOWS THE INDIANS

MONTANA’ GREATEST WOMAN ARTIST

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 Indians, my indexed listings will include all Indian names mentioned in the story from this time on

MONTANA’ GREATEST WOMAN ARTIST

By Helen Clark

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.

What a story, Rare Story!!! Great Pictures. You will love it as it was published in this old complete and seldom found western magazine of many years ago. Few issues of this publication exist.

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.
