Noah Smithwick 1836 Texas. Stated one of the fellers in their ranging company kilt and skint a coon for his breakfast. He let it hang overnight as "everyone knows if you hang a coon overnight is makes it more palatable the next day." It was cool enough so his confederate decided to hang it.

Next morning he discovered his coon had been coon-knapped! As one of the other blackguards in the company stole his coon, cooked and ate it gone for his breakfast!!!! Much to the hilarity of the ranging company

The End

Founder
Ancient Order of the 1895 Winchester

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison?
And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
