Folks, there was a certain joy and tranquility, an indefinable something- romance, perhaps, about that “Fool-Proof” Invention, called a Model T that can never be attained in one of the luxury cars of today.

MUD, MISERY, AND MY MODEL T By: Bertha Cogdill Friends, “you’ll never get me into that!” said this little girl from Meeteetse – but the century was changing and everyone was learning to drive. “All that was required was a strong foot, a good eye, and the patience of a jackass!” Let’s take a step back in time and take a look at some of the first Model T’s! As a former owner, this is the rest of the story. Please read this. This is an overlooked story I found in an unusual and different magazine.. 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 first vehicles of our time 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. MUD, MISERY, AND MY MODEL T By: Bertha Cogdill Folks, sooner or later – Genealogists are going to realize that their family kinfolks are lying 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. As a tribute to the honor of our American Ancestors, Early Settlers, Forefathers, Pioneers and our Native American Indians, my indexed listings will include all names mentioned in the story from this time on.
