Gayle, No one ever asked you to compromise your beliefs. You portray yourself as a victim. You say you have been called a "bigot". Please show me one place where I was disrespectful or suggested you were a bigot. Being Gay is not political. It's t...
You have a way with words Ric-o-chet, and I don't mean just sliding boy parts.
THE LIFE AND DEATH OF JOHN HENRY TUNSTALL looks to be a very interesting read, however after reading only this one portion of Gale Cooper's ah book, I'm am almost ready to gouge out my eyes out so I can't read any more.

Battle of The Bands & French horn whippings
November 29, 2009
Had a nice, four day stretch at home to work on a variety of artwork. Began an ambitious splash-page painting of the Mesilla shootout (January CG) complete with clarinet beatings and French horn whipping (as opposed to pistol whipping). Lots of dust, lots of blood, lots of anatomical problems. Hope to finish tonight.
Also finished an overview of the Burnside rifles duel at forty paces, and by the way, I'm assuming that in a duel like this, the two stood back to back in… Continue

The Orgasmic Birth of Billy the Kid
November 27, 2009
Time to catch up on some William H. Bonney clarifications. Last week, on the Kid's alleged birthday, I launched off on a series of statements that caught the eye of a certain scholar in Chalfont Saint Giles, England. Here are his corrections and the subsequent exchange:
"Actually Our Billy told the 1880 census taker (or the census taker, deciding discretion was the better part of valor, skipped that particular house and wrote down the first thing that came into his head… Continue

Finished Blazing Pols
November 25, 2009
Finished Blazing Pols at 3:30. Would have finished earlier but my computer kept beeping. When there are comments on my blog I get a beep and a link to approve them and yesterday's Brokeback Mountain post created a three ring circus of comment.
Here's the finished scratchboard:

Moderating and Moderation On This Site
November 25, 2009
We have been contacted by more than a few of you about coming up with some rules and regs on this site. We agree that there have been abusive visitors to the site and, while we don't like it any more than you do, we have debated how strong a hand to take in these matters. Here's what we came up with:
The True West Historical Society will be moderated by Trish Brink and myself.

Jackass Anatomy

Worked all afternoon yesterday on the the Blazing Pols illustration. After some 35 sketches, finally got a decent looking drawing of a gunfighting elephant at about two:

Eric Weider said… - Lots of great covers Bob...some truly ground breaking work. Love the April 2002 cover. Here's to another 100 great issues of Ture West. (Hopefully not as great as Wild West though! Nah...there's room enough for all in the West!!)

Thanks Bob

gus Walker aka the mapinator said… - that’s a goodin’ BBB.
when you think about it, how folks dress is a big fashion statement. wannabbees dress in all kinds of attire, wearing hunting or military fatigues, baggy shorts and pants showing mucho crack, cocked ballcaps, big long coats with furry collars and big hats and chains, renaissance characters, suits and ties, overalls. seems like we all dress like something we admire or would like to be like. then there are those who just go along with some fashion forced on them by designers. maybe it would be fun to list styles no one pays attention to. you seldom see someone dressed in lab or doctor coats or Wal-Mart vests unless they are really in that business.

Olemphia D said… - Hi Bob. I'm in need of some catalogs that carry Duster coats. Could you tell me how to go about finding these catalogs? Most i've come across only sell shoes but I'm interested in the long dusters the cowboys wore back in the days.
Thanks.

dave turner said… - Your Oct. issue has an information free info card in it. It has a small oval pic of my 2nd great uncle, A.J. Sowell as a Texas Ranger, where did your staff come up with it. It is one i don't have, but have seen it in other publications a couple of times. I do have a copy of him and Big Foot Wallace setting on the porch of my 3rd great granddads house at Wau Ban See springs, Texas. Thanks! for keepin history alive..

- Hi Bob,
Thanks....Good to hear from you. Hope you and your family are doing well. I definitely should have found this site before now, but I don't spend a lot of time on the computer except to play poker.
Maybe this site will take me away from that for awhile...lol.
I am still collecting, so probably do have some photos you could use. Bought a great Quantrill letter awhile back. Only one I have seen in all the years of collecting. Your welcome to come by and see what i have anytime, so when your out this way again, give me a call. From what I've recently read, I don't see how you find the time to do much of anything. You have always been one busy guy. Take care...Craig
