FORT SNELLING
GIBRALTAR OF THE WEST
FORT SNELLING MEMORABILIA
IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING
Folks, here is the story of the most important and imposing beautiful pioneer outpost of our western frontier. As I read this story, I found not just a history of Fort Snelling but rather a recording of the facts about a Fort that were different from the commanders to the Indian Agents – a fort that enriched the lives not only of the occupants of the fort but the visiting Indians and those who lived around it. From the days when Zebulon Pike was assigned the task of finding the source of the Mississippi River and purchased the site for this pioneer fort for Two Hundred Dollars and sixty gallons of liquor to the final days of it’s use, this covers a massive history of our American Frontier. The story is entitled:
“FORT SNELLING – GIBRALTAR OF THE WEST,”.
by Joan Kyllo. 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 premier outposts 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.

FORT SNELLING – GIBRALTAR OF THE WEST
FORT SNELLING 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.; $4.60 Priority; $4.50 to Canada; $10.00 Par Avion (Air Mail) for International Mail. Texans must pay 8-¼ % sales tax. Thanks,
Tom
