Rattlers, coyotes, javelina

Watch these movies: Giant, The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, Fandango, and Lonesome Dove.

But those only cover Far West Texas and we have so many other regions to show you. Hill Country, East Texas, Panhandle, Gulf Coast... and can pitch in

I heard from a couple of my uncles, not 1800's, but from probably the 40s or 50s, legend of a goatman in the woods behind my house. It was mostly to get a rise out of the kids when we were young. Lol

There was a goat man when my dad was a kid. But he just had goats, and would just shoot people with rock salt. Blew himself up in a propane explosion. Propane company still left him a bill

I have relatives who wear "cowboy" boots every day. I learned how to shoot a gun before I learned how to read.

Why do you say "cowboy" booty?

[–] • 1 pt

Most cowboy boots are fashioned after Spanish dancing boots...

But Americans made some alterations. Reading up on history now. Gaucho boots?

I had an ancestor who kept running away from the army during the civil war. They caught him on his farm, made him dig his own grave. Told him they would hang him at dawn. In the morning he had escaped again, and he had shit in his grave. Never caught him again.

It's an early version of going to get store and never coming back. I had family that came over from Germany to texas in the 1800s. One day my relative went out to hunt and never came back. They sent out posse an everything to look for him. From what I understand, they believe Indians got him. There were still hostile bands in the southwest at the time.

Interesting. Wonder if they came from Pennsylvania. My one older neighbor/friend of the family has records of his family fighting Indian raids in the 1600s. There's still a few noted sights of that around here. Some more recent (as in close to 1800s in the countryside I visit an hour away
