A great read from someone who was there.

Birdy, Gregg was also what I’d call one of us. A gun nut!!! You’ll find out when you read it.

Also if you can find Lt. James W Abert’s journal of his topographical expedition of the Canadian river 1845, its a must!!! Comanches would not bother them whole they rode across the present Texas Panhandle. They asked a band of Kiowa why the Comanches were avoiding them and they said their (Abert’s party) medicine was too great!

The Comanches were RIGHT, James Abert was a man of DESTINY 🙂
