Well, boys, girls, and Submarine Race Fans, yet another week has gone by. Because of this and that, I'm running late on getting around to posting, and I do humbly apologize for that.
The bad news is that my Monthly Old West El Paso Gunfight Tour is postponed untill Saturday August 9th, 2008. And why you might ask? Because Heidi, the Buckaroo and I are heading to Lincoln, New Mexico for Billy the Kid Days. We'll head up Friday evening, deal cards and talk history, then race back Sunday evening. Ought to be fun.
Got an email from the friends of Pat Garrett. From the sound of it, Cal Traylor took his last group out to see the ranch and Garrett Murder/ Kill site. Only had one couple that didn't brave the rain last Saturday. Other than that, a good time was had by all. Did learn that there are some issues about access to the murder site. But they seemed to be under control.
Wasn't sure if there was a meeting of the Concordia Heritage Society. Not sure iffn I'll make the August one either.
And for the trivia for the day, it was on August 1st, 1895 that Officer John Selman Jr. arrested Beulah M'Rose for drunk & Disorderly, and carrying a gun. She was fined $50.00. Some claim that this arrest provoked hard feelings between Jr. and John Wesley Hardin. Personally, it just an excuse of Papa John Selman to killed the famed gunfighter.
