DINAMITE ATEN AND HIS BIG BOOM “Keep your ears pricked, you may hear my dynamite boom clear down there (Austin). I will use the greatest precaution and see that no innocent man gets hurt with them. The dynamite is dangerous in setting unless a man is awful careful. However, If I get blowed up, you will know I was doing a good cause.”Letter to Captain of Texas Rangers - Captain L. P. SIEKER, from Sgt. Ira AtenNow, folks, Sergeant Ira Aten of the Texas Rangers was getting awfully tired of finding cut barbed wire fences. Matter of fact – he had had enough. So he devised a little scheme to throw the cutters out of buiness cause if he couldn’t catch ‘em – he could. DYAMITE ‘EM!And, in fact his scheme “PUT A QUIETUS ON FENCE CUTTINGOLD TEXAS RANGER MEMORABILIAIS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING Please read this. 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 how a Texas Ranger actually ended the fince cutting wars are seldom found. This story is published in a very rare and seldom found – off bound Western publication – nearly 50 years old and a collector’s item in itself. 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 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.

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 goodt 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.
