Rodeo is the poker game of the arena – and to a cowboy on his favorite horse it’s a whale of a lot of whether he’s winning or losing. WINNING OR LOSING By Milt Hinkle FACTUAL REPRESENTATION OF OUR WESTERN TREASURES Folks, permit me to introduce a little personal history. I started out this western thing of mine when I discovered my great granddaddy ran the mule barn at Florence, Texas. He shod the horses of some of the greatest Texas cowboy rodeo stars, good guys and outlaws. Over the years, I have been asked the name of every Rodeo Star, Wild West Show outfit and yes- even the name of the horse. That’s why this story offered is an invaluable tool to every western researcher working today. Just remember, this description is copyrighted and we already have one lawsuit against an eCRATER seller for copying it. Frankly, this list of names herein reads like a who’s who of early western rodeo history. “ It’s Just Amazing” This is a great piece of rodeo history entitled “Winning or Losing,” by Milt Hinkle. Hinkle was a champion bull-dogger who took home many a ribbon. Of course, he also took home a gal named Mildred who even rivaled his take among the goodies and prizes of the rodeo. Be that as it may, probably Hinkle’s best contribution to rodeo was to keep a written history. Frankly, I feel that without his memoirs and writings ours would be the loss. Here, I have indexed above the Rodeo Stars he has named and known, the horses they rode and the wild west shows they appeared in—even the small little one that seldom made the headlines. 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 pioneers of the old west 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. WWW.GENEALOGYIMAGESOFHISTORY.COM IF I FIND SOMETHING THAT I THINK MERITS YOUR INTEREST, I WILL WRITE A REVIEW AND PLACE IT ON eCRATER AND GIVE YOU NOTICE AND A HEAD START TO BUYITNOW! Following my retirement, I have dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our western pioneers. During my research, I discovered that thousands of our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized on some book dealer’s shelf. 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. Folks, sooner or later - Genealogists are going to realize that their family kinfolks are laying 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, it’s worth all the time I spend.

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. 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.; $4.75 Priority; $4.50 to Canada; $11.00 via USPS First Class Mail International for International Mail. (We have been very disappointed in the time frame for our international mailing. It seems our post office is now mailing surface mailing and it sometimes take over 30 days to get to destination. If you care for faster delivery, just tell me and I will figure faster delivery.) Texans must pay 8-¼ % sales tax.
