CALIFORNIA GHOST TOWN MEMORABILIA IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING FACTUAL REPRESENTATION NOT RETREAD HISTORY Quietly folks, trod silently, listen to rustling of the sequoias, the ripple of the river, the depth of the canyon because here is the story entitled SHIRT-TAIL CANYON By Kenneth S. Roe where this noted western author Kenneth S. Roe has brought the sounds of the old ghost towns to life – resurrecting the characters who made the old west. 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 the GHOST TOWNS OF THE OLD WEST 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 PURCHASE AND PAYMENT, IF YOU WILL WRITE ME OF YOUR SPECIAL NAME OR INTEREST, I WILL DO A FREE SEARCH OF MY COLLECTION AND UNINDEXED STORIES AND NAMES.

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. SHIRT-TAIL CANYON By Kenneth S.

Roe CALIFORNIA GHOST TOWN 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 and seldom found 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.
