lol..howdy freebornangel! thanks for these articles. I really like legendsofamerica and go there for references and photos and sometimes story ideas. Great story about the guy who founded Borger, I had to look it up to see where it was.
Not too far from Amarillo.
I remember a Borger exit on I-40.
I didn't know the connection between Borger and Tilghman, though.
I learned about Bill from a late night tv movie.
He made it from the indian wars to the drug war, and the drug war's corrupt federal agent killed him.
Pretty sad, iyam.
Very sad indeed sir freebornangel, it's a great story and I may tell it if I stay here and Steemit lasts, etc. I've been somewhat familiar with him since he was in Dodge City at the same time Wyatt Earp was but I never researched him specifically. Thanks so much for all your information, you're full of it! lol.
I've read a lot of books.
I most enjoy real stories of real people.
I think those bring the value to steem.
Until steemizens have more of it, we have to make do with stories from the past.
You do a good job of collating different sources and putting them into a good read.
I've been to Dodge a couple times, if only I could hear what the walls have to say.
Howdy today freebornangel and thanks for the kind words. I'm not much of a writer but I like to tell stories so hopefully a little of that comes through. Oh yeah, Dodge has a colorful history indeed!
