COURAGE OF ROBERT AND LUCY GILBERT GENEALOGY INDEX: SEE MASSIVE INDEX BELOW PRINTED LARGE ENOUGH FOR US OLD FOLKS TO READ. COURAGE OF ROBERT AND LUCY GILBERT By: Lee Myers OLD CHISUM TRAIL MEMORABILIA IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING Folks, making a fertile valley of dessert waste did not make headlines in the old days of Injun fighting. Previously, Robert Gilbert was best known for the fact that Billy the Kid had asked him for whiskey and when none of available, Billy the Kid promptly shot seven holes through the hole of Gilbert’s Stage Station. There was another side to this Tennessee native. He was a born farmer and in the desserts of New Mexico plantedpecan trees, orange trees and a menagerie of vegetables and fruit. Finally, his neighbors began to take note and Gilbert’s feats were properly recorded. Here is the story entitled: COURAGE OF ROBERT AND LUCY GILBERT By: Lee Myers Please read this. There were many a western story published – the common ones about Cowboys and Indians are listed on Ebay every day but the rarer ones about a western pioneer who shunned the trouble in the territory to develop a paradise and Mecca in the Dessert are seldom found. Collectors treasure them and their price guide value rises every day.They are hard to find. I hunt them out because really the better, untold and rarer stories were published in the rest. Here’s one of ‘em. Following my retirement, I have dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our western heroes. During my research, I discovered that thousands of our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized on some book dealer’s shelf gathering dust. Because Old Western History and Memorabilia was printed before computer indexing, I index every item I sell. This complete index will be bound and included in this offering at no additional cost. Humbly, I am trying to keep our history alive. I hope you appreciate the effort. COURAGE OF ROBERT AND LUCY GILBERT By: lee Myers Folks, sooner or later – Genealogists are going to realize that their family kinfolks are lying on some dealer’s dusty shelves. If I can contribute to finding one little name or photo of that long lost ancestor you have been waiting to find, its worth all the time I spend. As a tribute to the honor of our American Indians, my indexed listings will include all Indian names mentioned in the story from this time on.

While others clip ads from magazines, I save history. It’s a shame that our past is being lost. It’s as simple as that. My wife kids me that after I find a piece I like, buy it, read it, research it, take a picture, scan it, write the blurb, pay the Ebay entry fee and commission, that I end up making about 50 cents an hour. But, OH HOW I LOVE THIS OLD WESTERN HISTORY. What a story, Rare Story!!! Great Pictures. You will love it as it was published in this old complete western magazine of many years ago. The issue is in good condition, the cover is in vibrant color. As clearly stated in my description, this is featured story in a rarely found and seldom read unusual and complete western magazine. I don't give out name of publication or date because I have caught competitors copying my index and work and trying to sell it as theirs. I hope you understand.
