Alpine pioneer Ralph Slight a cowboy and merchant
Ralph Bernal Slight, born 1868 in Nottingham, England, came to the U S at 18 after a stint as a clerk and as a wyer’s office helper. He traveled from San Antonio to Alpine in 1888, worked as a cowboy for about 12 years, later ran the Alpine Drug Store, and built up business on Front Street before a 1907 fire destroyed the main block.
