FACTUAL REPRESENTATION OF OUR WESTERN TREASURES Folks, although I am a tried and true Texan, I must admit that I have not read of the strategy and planning of Sam Houston in his brilliant defeat of Santa Anna and the Mexican army at San Jacinto. Sometimes, these old stories are tucked away gathering dust on some dealer’s shelf. Here is a great one entitled:P> SAM HOUSTON AND HIS BATTLES which was reprinted here by the great writer Cyrus Townsend Brady for McClures magazine in 1902. 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 revolutionary leader Sam Houston and his Army of the Republic 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. 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 WEBSITE AND UNINDEXED STORIES AND NAMES.

Following my retirement, I have dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our western pioneers.

Humbly, I am trying to keep our history alive I hope you appreciate the effort. SAM HOUSTON AND HIS BATTLES By Cyrus Townsend Brady Folks, sooner or later - Genealogists are going to realize that their family kinfolks are laying on some dealer's dusty shelves.

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, reprinted from a 1902 magazine. 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; $13.25 for International Mail. Texans must pay 8-¼ % sales tax.
