A TEXAS RANGER TREASURE Genealogy Index: Please see massive index below with print large enough for us old folks to read BACKTRACKING AND DOUBLING LIKE AN ANIMAL, CORTEZ ELUDED THE POSSES OF FOUR COUNTRIES TEXAS RANGER MEMORABILIA IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING Folks, as many of you know, I specialize in finding old American stories of long ago that have been overlooked, seldom found and rarely read. Here is the story entitled “Hell On The Nueces,” by Maurice Kildare. Seems that bad guy Gregorio Cortez committed the unpardonable sin – he killed a couple of Texas Sheriffs. Well, that brought out posses, vigilantes and, worst of all for the outlaw: THE TEXAS RANGERS Well, the dirty rat, stole a quarter horse race mare, eluded capture for ten days, crossing that last stream for safety and fell asleep. When he awoke, the Rangers had him. Seems he had one more river crossing he failed to make –. THE RIO GRANDE Great Story with rare pictures of Texas Rangers as indexed below. There were many a western story published – the common ones about Cowboys and Indians are listed on Ebay every day but the rarer ones about the outlaws 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 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 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. 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. This is an unusal published western that is hard to find and will be a collectors item in the future. The issue is in excellent 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.
