   Pony Express rider Billy Tate is one of my favorite Old West heroes! Billy Tate was only in his teens when he joined The Pony Express, and Billy had the courage of 5 grown men! He fought off many Indians while doing his job, and the Indians when they cornered Billy and killed him due to their large numbers, didn’t mutilate his body like they usually did to non-Indians when deceased, due to the great respect they had for Billy Tate! I think there should be a coin made in Billy Tate’s honor to honor his exceptional courage! Also, I read that his horse made it to a mail station with the mail.

   Dear Friends, I would love stories of Old West photographer W.S. Prettyman who photographed the land-runs in Oklahoma during the 1800’s. W.S. Prettyman was an interesting man of the old West! Many Indian tribes of that day welcomed him into their lives! He photographed a very old Indian lady that was a child when she saw Lewis and Clark walk into her tribe’s territory! W.S.Prettyman took a photo of this elderly lady!

   Thanks Priscilla
