MILITARY GHOSTS
ON THE CARSON RIVER IN NEVADA

Shed not for her the bitter tear,
Nor give thy heart to vain regret
Tis but the casket that lies here
The gem that filled it, sparkles yet

OLD FORT CHURHILL MEMORABILIA
IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING

Folks, spend some time here as I did and read the fascinating, descriptive story by Nell Murbarger – who is, in my opinion after reading and reviewing thousands of westerns, is one of the best of the creative top flight western authors. Gee, I just love to read the real life stories of early Army Fort Churchill – jewel of the western front. The author ended this story with the epitaph found on the headstone of Eliza Ann Buckland in the old graveyard overlooking the front which she found appropriate as a suitable tribute to old Fort Churchill, herself.

MILITARY GHOSTS ON THE CARSON

Written by Nell Murbarger. 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 the pioneer settlements 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. 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.

FORT CHURCHILL ON THE
CARSON RIVER IN NEVADA

OLD FORT CHURHILL 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.
Buyer pays postage of $3.50 First Class Postage to U. S.; $4.75 Priority; $11.00 Par Avion (Air Mail) for International Mail. Texans must pay 8-� % sales tax. Thanks,
Tom
