Dollbaby Mortison and the Flathead Brand Legend
Excerpts describe the Dollbaby branding story of Old Dad Morrison in Buck Creek Texas Panhandle with a crude backling head symbol and its nickname Old Dollbaby’s Flatheads. It recounts cowboy art on cattle, a noted passage from The Heraldry of the Platina and observations on marriage guidance from Mary J Holmes and Ladies' Home Journal. The piece then shifts to electrical engineering notes from the Institute of Electrical Engineers and ends with a Civil War Gettysburg scene recounted in Scribner.
