AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A WESTERN JUSTICE OF THE PEACE Folks, as you know, I specialize in finding old, rarely seen stories of American Pioneers. I sit on floors in old museums, libraries, antique stores, book places and read and reed seeking those who made our western frontier. This is a true story from 1891 of a young fellow on the western frontier who had just come from Maine. He was, in short, dead broke, but he had a semblance of education and was duly selected, appointed, elected, hired as justice of the peace – trouble was, there was no salary. Guess that was the reason that his predecessor, a guy named Twitter, was serving four years in the penitentiary (where our Judge Nye frequented to get a few tips as to how to run his office). The story is entitled “Autobiography of a Western Justice of the Peace,” written by Edgar W. Nye. 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 those who served as public officals of the old west like this one 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 pioneers. 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. AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A WESTERN JUSTICE OF THE PEACE By Edgar W.

Nye OLD JUSTICE OF THE PEACE MEMORABILIA IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING 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.
