Cowboy Justice and the Save the Statute Boat Tale
Frank Norfleet recalls a humorous Oklahoma river crossing tale from his days as a cowboy. A wagon bed becomes a makeshift boat on the flooded Canadian River, the justice clinging to a floating statute as it sinks, prompting the sharp quip save the statute and save the court. The anecdote tops other stories he shared at Grogan Wells. Also notice: WANTED I want to do your quilting by Mrs. Fred Hageman Bronte Texas.
