“FROM NIGHT HERD

INSERT THE NAME YOU ARE SEARCHING FOR IN THE BOX BELOW AND SEE WHAT WE HAVE IN OUR EBAY STORE IN THIS OR ANY OTHER TITLE OR NAME.
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, - its worth all the time I spend.
FROM NIGHT HERD TO DEPUTY MARSHAL
Folks, this week, I have selected stories out of the ordinary from the old west. Here is “FROM NIGHT HERD TO DEPUTY MARSHAL” by C. L. Packer who tells of the way it really was herding cattle on the old ranches, breaking greenhorns, roping calves, and later, of keeping law and order in pioneer days. Have you ever heard of:
a badger fight?
shoot a hogleg?
fork a bronc?
the trick wagon test?
Or, frankly, ever read of a first hand account of a lynching – well, there is story after story here that gives you the real flavour of the west. Told in a realistic and well written manner by an author who knows how to write. It is the story of Mathews “Mat” Nelson, son of a veternerian of the old west, raised on the ranches of Texas and Oklahoma, it is, frankly”
A ONE OF A KIND WESTERN STORY!
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 outlaws 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.
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.

FROM NIGHT HERD TO DEPUTY MARSHAL
by C. L. Packer
OLD LAWMAN 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 good condition, the cover is 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 International. Texans must pay 8 ¼% sales tax.
