Met a real nice lady from Ft Stockton. She’s still here.

Elmer Kelton wrote great books. He introduces fictional characters into real Texas history to show how people felt about the goings on, but Deef Smith, Fannin, Stephen F, and a lot of others are there.

Remember the Alamo. That siege started 180 years ago today.
