The Marquis de Mores
THE MOST DEBONAIR ADVENTURER IN THE WEST
by Wayne T. Walker
Folks, here is the exciting adventure entitled MOST DEBONAIR ADVENTURER IN THE WEST by Wayne T. Walker who writes of the dashing millionaire, The Marquis de Mores and his exploits in the west. Dreaming of settling an empire, he planned for a cattle empire to rival that of all the meat packers in the United States. His money was backed by his father in law, the Baron von Hoffman. Their plans knew no end – a Stagecoach Line, a railroad line with refrigerated lines, a cattle empire, a sheep empire – oops – here the plan hit a little snag and all went down hill when he fenced ‘em in and shut out an old cattle trail.
IT WAS THE BEGINNING OF THE END
Please read this. 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 some of the dashing pioneers 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. 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. I am trying to keep history alive.
This complete index will be bound and included in this offering at no additional cost.
I hope you appreciate the effort.

MARQUIS de MORES
DE MORES 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.
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.
