LEGEND OF THE WEST JOHNNY MURPHY Johnny Murphy all guts and gumption, drove Custer’s wagons, opened a hotel in the heart of Indian land and lived to see the close of the frontier.

JOHNNY MURPHY By: L. M. Lamb Friends, whether he was straddling a pony or driving a team of mules hitched to a freight wagon, Johnny Murphy was as much at home on the prairies as he had been on a Confederate battlefield. And he was as adept at fighting Indians as he had been fighting the Yankees. If fact, it is doubtful if Johnny could remember a time when he was not involved in a struggle. Here 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 fighters 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.

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. JOHNNY MURPHY By: L. M. Lamb Folks, sooner or later – Genealogists are going to realize that their family kinfolks are lying on some dealer’s dusty shelves.
