Stirring Adventures of West Texas Frontier
Kansas City Star describes Gordon A Badger recounting his 1846 trek into Texas wilds with two Arkansan companions. He survives buffalo stampede, a perilous ride for the gulf with just a penknife, and weeks with Indians, ending at Eureka Kansas observations before his 104th birthday. The piece previews a new volume in Mansas Historical Collections.
