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 🙂

ABERT’S TOWHEE

"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."
