PIONEER AMERICAN MEMORABILIA IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING MONUMENT TO A BADMAN By Glenn Shirley FACTUAL REPRESENTATION NOT RETREAD HISTORY Folks, sometimes history forgets. Such was the case here in the story of Joe Stokes – a man of little size but monumental heart. He lived through the exploits of the Sacramento, California early days of trouble as he served many of the political figures of the times. He fought the scum and was on the right side. Let me tell you this one wonderful little story. Seems Joe didn’t drink hard stuff and, while in attendance at a bar, he ordered something other than whiskey. Trouble was, the outlaw and bandits that frequented the bar heard his request and one, known only as “The Wild Wolf of the Arkansaw” challenged our hero. The result is one of the best and funniest true stories I have ever read. You must read the story entitled: MONUMENT TO A BADMAN It’s a hoot and one, if you are kin or a descedent of Joe Stokes, you will be proud to add to your library. 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 little known heroes of the early pioneer days of California 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.

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. MONUMENT TO A BADMAN By Glenn Shirley 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, - its 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 Ebay 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 in excellent 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.
