Much obliged. I’m noodling on putting one or two books together from a selection of posts, but I need to write and publish a few more before I can make that happen. If and when it does, however, the first folks to know will be good people like you who support Y’allogy. Thanks again for reading, your support, and your kind words.

Thank you so much, Misty. Those folks back then were born from horn and hide. That’s the stock we came from.

I’ve not heard of the “Chasing Billy” YouTube channel. I’ll have chase that down. 😉 Thanks for mentioning it. Dobie was a Texas treasure.

I’m so grateful to have you had a reader. Blessings.

Gosh those people were tough! 🙌 What an amazing account!

Poor girl must have been traumatised after such an ordeal. Glad to hear she lived to a good age. By strange coincidence I was watching the author John Le May on the "Chasing Billy" YouTube channel today, discussing J. Frank Dobie. Thank you for sharing this wonderful history! 🤠
