Veteran Trapper Sampson Christie Tells Tales For Tech Archive
Sampson Christie a 70 year old West Texas rancher from Barksdale recounted a lifetime of trapping for furs in Glasscock Midland and Martin counties for Texas Tech archivist David Gracy and his daughter Mrs George Young. Christie recalls identifying coyote tracks and animals by distinct marks and says he never set traps on Sundays. Christie notes three income sources from trapping: market sales bounties and livestock protection contracts. His sister Mrs J Austin Boler was the first person born in Glasscock County after its organization in 1894. Christie was born in 1898 in Indian Gap Hamilton County and moved with his family to Brown Glasscock counties.
