SAGA OF FREDERIC GERARD
TRADER AND SCOUT
OLD FUR TRADING
MEMORABILIA IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING
Folks, here the author states that Frederic Gerard could whip wild grizzlies, defeat 600 maddened Sioux Indians yet treat the same Indians for the disease of smallpox. This story begins with the Custer story of Gerard and his half-breed scout lying hidden in a clump of willows hiding from the Indians who had just defeated Custer the day before. Fortunately, he was successful in escaping. He was one of the few to do so and he relived the stories here of his hair raising adventures and activities on the western front. Comprehensive, thorough, well written history of the western frontier through the eyes of this trader scout. Here entitled
“Saga of Frederic Gerard, Trader and Scout,”
Carleton Mayes, one of the better authors of the day. Please read this. 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 outlaws 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.

SAGA OF FREDERIC GERARD
TRADER AND SCOUT
OLD FUR TRADING
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; $11.00 Par Avion (Air Mail) for International Mail. Texans must pay 8-¼ % sales tax. Thanks,
Tom
