THE FIRST WAR CORRESPONDENT - 1846 “Probably no other man in the history of newspapering so thoroughly utilized all of the facilities for communication and transportation at his disposal.” The Quill, November 1931 issue, Magazine of Sigma Delta Chi (Professional Journalistic Fraternity) WAR CORRESPONDENT MEMORABILIA IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING Folks, since I served as a Marine Corps Combat Correspondent, I was drawn to this story entitled : THE FIRST WAR CORRESPONDENT - 1846 the story of George Wilkins Kendall, an American born in New Hampshire who attained fame as a New Orleans publisher, War Correspondent and latter passing his last years on a Texas Ranch in a county which bears his name: KENDALL COUNTY, TEXAS His exploits during the Mexican-American War were legendary. Actually his feats and experiences were recorded in the best seller by Captain Frederick MARRYAT, novelist who wrote “Monsieur Voilet” “. 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 those first correspondents and writers who reported the news 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.

C. THE FIRST WAR CORRESPONDENT - 1846 WAR CORRESPONDENT 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.
