"My mind is officially blown. Traces of Texas reader Rusty Wilson kindly sent in this amazing photo of how a 45-ton piece of granite in Llano was moved SIX miles back in 1906. As you can see they simply bound rounded wooden posts/tree limbs around it giving it a rolling surface. XX thousand pounds folks Earlier I talked about how impressed I am by how ingenious our ancestors were and this is a great example of that. Necessity really IS the mother of invention. One thing has me puzzled however: The card reads "This rock is for the Terry Monn." What do y'all reckon the "Terry Monn" is Thank you"

"A group of cowboys on the King Ranch down in far south Texas moves a herd of cattle into the working pens 1965. The cattle are Santa Gertrudis a breed of beef cattle developed by the King Ranch. They are excellent cattle for Texas and really for many climates. The have outstanding foraging ability which means they can thrive under the harshest conditions. The bulls are usually very active and athletic sires and the cows are above average producers of milk which means they wean heavier calves. Their thick hide serves as insulation to the cold and as a barrier to insects and parasites. The"

"Traces of Texas reader Chuck Bonifeld thoughtfully shared this 1933 snapshot of his aunt Adeline Bulot and Adeline's dog in McCamey Texas. Adeline lived with her parents in "a railroad shotgun house just XX feet from the railroad tracks. It was a hard depression-era life for a little girl hanging out with roughnecks in the oilfields of McCamey." I can imagine it was a lonely time for this little girl Chuck. I would imagine her dog was her best friend. Sometimes that's enough. Thanks Chuck What a wonderful "moment-in-time" captured"

"Y'all are not going to believe the story of Ira Lee Corbin the great great grandfather of Traces of Texas reader Donovan Rhone. Donovan was nice enough to send this in but even nicer to accompany it with Ira's life story. Here it is as Ira told it in his own words. It's quite a tale of survival: "In 1882-10-10 I was born in a dirt floor one room log cabin in Hill county Texas. Four months later father died leaving Mother two sisters and I. Mom moved to Mississippi to be near her Mother and some half brothers and sisters. She married a man with a half dozen kids. He wouldnt work and Mother"

"A moody evocative scene in Marfa circa 1920. That gorgeous West Texas sky the shadowy landscape the Eclipse wind pumps . perfection. This was taken by Frank Duncan a talented photographer who settled in Marfa in 1916 and spent decades documenting life in the Big Bend region. Originally from Missouri he had traveled extensivelythrough Alaska Canada and Mexicobefore putting down roots in Far West Texas. I think it's fascinating that a town like little ol' Marfa all by itself out there in the big lonesome could support a working photographer. Once in Marfa he founded the Duncan Photography"

"Annie Ruth Crews on the occasion of her 8th grade graduation in Childress Texas 1926. Simply fantastic. When I saw this photo I thought "hmmm . her hair is VERY short. I didn't know that women wore such short hair quite so early." But now I'm beginning to realize that this bobbed hairstyle must have come into fashion sometime right around maybe 1920 or so. I never realized this before"

"Traces of Texas reader Ed Blackburn sent in this photo of Rick Jim and Bud three friends takin' the heat off in a tank sometime in the early 1950s on the Harris Ranch in Coke County. The tank is filled with water pumped from the aquifer below by that windmill in the background. I love this photo on account of it speaks so well to that time and place and to what resourceful folks did to cool off back then. When I was a kid near Little River-Academy my friend Jim Phillips' parents had a cistern that was actually a storage tank from the dairy that they used to operate. The cistern was a huge"

From the grocey and feed sign to the Dr. Pepper "Good for You" lettering with the period after "Dr." to the Hershey's cocoa and Our Mother's Cocoa in the store to the two men talking on the left the group of men standing in the center and above all the two rakish young men on the right leaning up against the window and looking at photographer Russell Lee the photography is a symphony.

"Here's a stunning piece of Texas history. Traces of Texas reader Kyle King was nice enough to send in this great photo of the Rowdy King Boys William George King left and his brother John Rhodes King. William is Kyle's great great grandfather. Per Kyle William and John and their families left Tennessee and arrived in the Seguin area in 1836. They were Texas Rangers fighting and fought "Indians and Mexican bandits. They also fought in the Texas Revolution with Hays Rangers. After that they participated in several battles including the Battle of Plum Creek in 1840 and the Battle of Salado"

"Traces of Texas reader Bob Navraez was nice enough to send in this wonderful shot. This was shot on the King Ranch during the 1930s and shows Bobs' father and uncle. Bob's dad Gregorio Narvaez is holding the skillet and Bob's uncle Basilio is at the chuck box shelves. The other folks are unknown but I love the kid with the slingshot who is wearing a "Jughead Jones" hat. This is a bit damaged toward the bottom right but I liked it so much that I was willing to overlook that. Thank you Bob. SUPERB"

"In 1916 if you wanted to buy a Ford in Dallas the procedure was a bit different than it is today. Seven years before in 1909 the Ford Motor Company opened a two-man service center in Dallas to repair and service its new Model T cars. Within five years demand for Model T's was so great that Ford opened an assembly line in the 1900 block of Main at Commerce street. It could produce XXX cars per day. Here's one young man's buying experience: "Other automobile companies had showrooms in the business area but if you wanted to buy a Ford you had to go to the factory. I was a student at Southern"

"The Canon Ranch Railroad Eclipse windmill is a historic windpump that was located near Sheffield Texas. The windmill was built in 1898. When made it was the largest commercially produced windmill in the U.S. As such it is one of four known to exist and was the last one still situated above its original well. It was restored in 2001 by the nationally renowned windmill expert Jim Collums of Poteet TX and his nephew. In 2019 the windmill was moved to the National Ranching Heritage Center in Lubbock for additional restoration and permanent installation in the center's 27-acre historical park. As"

Winter that I have seen. But isn't it glorious"

What's a tallyho wagon I'm glad you asked my fine freckled friend.

I have no idea exactly what is going on here (unless it's a big hat contest) but this is an astonishing image nonetheless. It might be a suffragette march. The women's clothing is tremendous as are their hats but the men's hats are just as nifty --- each one a different shape or with a different crease .well crud. Now I want a new hat"

"A view of the Menger Hotel in San Antonio 1897. Everybody knows about the justifiably famous Menger but what I think is really interesting is the row of buildings to the left: one is a combination livery stable/feed store/transfer office --- and undertaker. Another is something called "Vogel's Concert Garden" There is a sign on the wall to the left of that which reads "The Midnight Alarm." The line of horses and carriages . TOO perfect Fascinating.
