BLACK JACK PERSHING - PANCHO VILLA A MEETING WITH AN OLD FOE MUERTE A LOS AMERICANOS PANCHO VILLA MEMORABILIA IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING Folks, as many of you know, I search for old western stuff, magazines and books that have seldom read, little seen stories of our western heroes. Here is one entitled “Viva Villa - A Meeting With An Old Foe,” by Richard A. King. I was honored to serve as on the Marine Corps Honor Guard Burial Detachment for the funeral of General Pershing in Washington, D. C. Although 20 years of age, I remember the honors accorded this great general. Since that time, I have been a fan of his and save stories and memorabilia about him. I am fortunate to have two of these so I have decided to sell one so that I may buy additional stories of our revered General “Backjack” Pershing. It seems hard to remember that only 91 years ago, 162,000 U.S. Soldiers including Border Patrol and Texas National Guard hunted for one year the wily Pancho Villa. Villa, a strong leader neither drank or smoked and he had the ability to inspire his men in their endeavors which were, unfortunately, capturing mining engineers, raiding the United States and, generally, just hell raising along the Mexican border with Texas. President Woodrow Wilson issued orders to General Pershing to get Villa and stop this harassment. Well, Pershing assimilated eight cavalry regiments, five infantry regiments, five artillery batteries, signal Corps, quartermaster, ambulance and EIGHT BI-PLANES OF THE FIRST AREO-SQUADRON! The author, relates the war experience of Sgt. Eugene Weston, Jr., who fought against Villa under Pershing and later, actually interviewed the wife of Villa. Lots of great stories about the campaigns of Pershing and his troops who became famous as Buffalo Soldiers. Pershing was loved by them as was Villa. They were two old foes that probably honored each other for their dedication and loyalty to their cause. Fantastic tales of the old west days - you will love it. I don't have the space to relate the stories nor do I want to spoil it. It's great. You have not seen it before because if is in this out of the way western magazine of many years ago that is just flat hard to come by. IT IS A ONE OF A KIND STORY Please read this. There were many a western story published – the common ones about Cowboys and Indians are listed on eCRATER every day but the rarer ones about one of the legendary Revolutionary leaders of Mexico and the General who hunted him down 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.

King PANCHO VILLA 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 eCRATER 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.
