OLD INDIAN LIGHT HORSE POLICE
MEMORABILIA IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING

FACTUAL REPRESENTATION
OF OUR WESTERN TREASURES

Folks, this is the most comprehensive, thorough report of the Indian Police I have ever found in the ten years I have been reporting and reviewing their history. Look below – for pictures of the Indian Police members. Unfortunately, the individuals are not identified but perhaps, you or your kin can spot your ancestor here in a photo not normally unseen. Certainly if your ancestors served as a Light Horse member, you should be proud of your heritage. They served with honor and distinction with low pay and skimpier supplies but they brought glory to their name:

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. 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.

Folks, sooner or later – Genealogists are going to realize that their family kinfolks are laying 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, it’s 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

INDIAN MOUNTED POLICE –
THE LIGHT HORSE

By Wayne T. Walker

OLD INDIAN LIGHT HORSE POLICE
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 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.
Buyer pays postage of $3.50 First Class Postage to U. S.; $5.00 Priority; $12.30 for International Mail. Texans must pay 8-� % sales tax. Thanks,
Tom
