That's like if...I understand how you feel, Tom. That's like if a country singer comes out with music that you're not too crazy about. Not everybody likes that. Why do you think we call them haters? Because they don't like us! If they did, then literally everyone would be pleased.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632055767270986594.post-68704133288525514872017-04-12T21:08:07.538-07:002017-04-12T21:08:07.538-07:00Totally agree!

I keep reading what you write not because I can't track down the information myself if I choose, but because I enjoy reading your take on that information.<br /><br />I'm currently finishing work on a biography of Texas Jack Omohundro, trail and stage partner of Buffalo Bill Cody. The only previous book about Texas Jack is Hershel Logan's 1954 work, Buckskin and Satin. It's a decent little book, but its obvious that Mr. Logan was a big fan of Jack. Logan happened to own one of Jack's old guns (a beautiful Smith & Wesson Model 3 American now in the collection of Cimmaron Arms founder Mike Harvey), so maybe he had a vested interest in making Jack appear as heroic as the dime novel writers made him. So Logan shied away from Jack's failures, including his fondness for whisky. I think that when we view these men as human rather than superhuman we can better appreciate who they were...men of their time. Not knights in shining armor, just real people going about the business of being alive.<br /><br />Keep up the writing, and I'll keep reading.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14621115455822747695noreply@blogger.com
