Planning on a couple of “Josey Wales” stages for the February match. Stage will still be set for standard SASS if you don’t want to shoot “Josey-style”. For those who do - a Josey Wales shoot uses four pistols instead of two pistols and a rifle. You stage the two extra pistols like you would your rifle. Cali- bers don’t have to match, you don’t have to shoot gunfighter style…it’s just to do something different. With deer season ending soon, we hope to re-engage Brock to get the long range up and running as well and don’t forget that Comancheria Days (1-5 April) are coming fast. RO I and II classes are Wednesday and Side Matches/Wild Bunch take place on Thursday. Main match runs Friday and Saturday. It’s a great time and there are peo- ple of every skill level so don’t worry about being “good enough”. Bring family and friends to come watch!

Monterey Michael W. Simpson Treasurer South Texas Pistolaros (210) 884-0991 Costume Contest January 4, 2020 Cowboy Action Shooting Match The South Texas Pistolaros will once again hold a Costume Contest at the January CAS Match. The winners will receive a Free Match, which can be applied to a future South Texas Pistolaros Match. There are only two categories, “Mens” and “Ladies” Formal attire will be judged the same as “working” or “shooting’ attire. No Entry Form will be required. If you are a registered shooter for the January Match, you will be automatically entered. Judging will be done by last years winners, who are ineligible to compete. Quanah Parker Chief of the Qua Ha Di Comanche The bronze likeness of Quanah Parker show below is located at the Ft. Worth Stockyards. It is perhaps ironic that his once-prominent location at the Stockyards has been practically obscured by construction of hotels and commercial buildings. His band of Comanche dwindled to fewer than 100 as they too were steadily surrounded by “civilization” (and Col. Ranald Mackenszie) in the latter half of the 19th Century. His mother, (captive) Cynthia Ann Parker, was “rescued” by a combined force of Texas Rang- ers and soldiers led by future Governor Sul Ross in 1860. She and her daughter, Topsanna, did not live long after being returned to her white relatives. Quanah led his band until finally sur- rendering at Ft. Sill in 1875. He went on to serve his tribe well, insuring their successful adap- tation into their new reservation lives. He died in 1911.

New-to-CAS individuals or guest without a valid SASS membership but with a documented knowledge of safe firearms hand skills (LTC, NRA certifi- cation, etc.) who desire to participate in a club match will be referred to the Range Master, or other designated Officer, for on-site orientation. If time permits, the orientation will be held before the match. If the Range Master and Match Director concur, the individuals will be assigned a mentor and permitted to register as a competitor. Any person who have not completed any type of formal firearms training but wish to participate in CAS will be referred to a formal CAS orientation session to be provided by the club. The orientation session will use a classroom setting to address basic firearms safety, handling CAS firearms safely, SASS match protocols, and range and club safety rules. Upon suc- cessful completion of the classroom session, attendees will have the opportunity to shoot in a controlled setting on the CAS range. Cost per students has yet to be determined, but a range fee of $11.00 per person plus the cost of suitable ammunition is to be expected. Guest Shooter Liability Waiver Policy Any contestant at a match who is not currently a member of the South Texas Pistolaros must first read and sign a liability waiver before competing.

And it began with a typical colonial family’s quest for a better life. Like many early American settlers, Elder John Parker, a Revolutionary War veteran and Baptist minister, constantly felt the pull to blaze the trail into the West, spreading the word of God along the way. He led his family of 13 children and their descendants to Virginia, Georgia and Tennessee before coming to Illinois, where they were among the rst white settlers of what is now Coles County, arriving in c. 1824. e Parkers were inuential in colonizing the region, building the rst mill, forming churches and organizing government.

Having undertaken original research into mid-19th century photographs in archives internationally, pertaining to Native America in the American Southwest, new histories and a re- framing of the photographs in question has been assembled. This portion of the research was undertaken both as a starting point for further investigation, and as a return to the people of New Mexico, particularly the Indigenous inhabitants of that place.

  • The Son by Philipp Meyer
    The Son By Philipp Meyer Chapter One: Colonel Eli McCullough Taken from a 1936 WPA Recording It was prophesied I would live to see one hundred and having achieved that age I see no reason to doubt it. I am not dying a Christian though my scalp is intact and if there is an eternal hunting ground, that is where I am headed. That or the river Styx. My opinion at this moment is my life has been far too short: the good I could do if given another year on my feet. Instead I am strapped to this bed, fouling myself like an infant. Should the Creator see fit to give me strength I will make my way to the waters that run through the pasture. The Nueces River at its eastern bend. I have always preferred the Devil’s. In my dreams I have reached it three times and it is known that Alexander the Great, on his last night of mortal life, crawled from his palace and tried to slip into the Euphrates, knowing that if his body disappeared, his people would assume he had ascended to heaven as a god. His wife stopped him at the water’s edge. She dragged him home to die mortal. And people ask why I did not remarry. Should my son appear, I would prefer not to suffer his smile of victory. Seed of my destruction. I know what he did and I suspect he has long graced the banks of the river Jordan, as Quanah Parker, last chief of the Comanches, gave the boy scant chance to reach fifty.

  • Chapter Summary Conflict on the Frontier Lesson 1: the Search for Peace • After the Civil War, the U.S
    NAME DATE CLASS Chapter Summary Conflict on the Frontier Lesson 1: The Search for Peace • After the Civil War, the U.S. Army tried to stop Native American raids in West Texas. The U.S. army faced various problems, including too few troops, a shortage of supplies, and unfamiliarity with frontier warfare. • In 1867 the U.S. government signed three different treaties with five Native American groups: Kiowa, Comanche, Plains Apache, Arapaho, and Cheyenne. Under the Treaty of Medicine Lodge Creek, the Native Americans would move onto reservations in Indian Territory, and the U.S. government would provide supplies and land for the reservations. • In 1869 President Ulysses S. Grant implemented a new policy of improving relations with Native Americans. He removed corrupt federal agents from reservations and placed church groups and missionaries in charge of reservations. • However, some Native Americans refused to move onto reservations. The U.S. government did not prevent soldiers from entering reservations and did not prosecute outlaws who stole Native American goods or sold liquor on the reservations. In the end, the Treaty of Medicine Lodge Creek failed to stop conflict. Lesson 2: The West Texas Wars • In 1871 U.S. General William Tecumseh Sherman traveled west to investigate reports of Native American attacks. On May 18, 1871, Native Americans entered Texas and attacked a wagon train in what became known as the Warren Wagon Train Raid. • The raid convinced General Sherman that the peace policy had not worked. Sherman ordered U.S. troops to pursue any Native Americans not living on reservations and to destroy their camps.

  • Am AMERICAN HERITAGE
    AMERICANAm HERITAGE DAY DEAR PARENTS, Each year the elementary school students at Valley Christian Academy prepare a speech depicting the life of a great American man or woman. The speech is written in the first person and should include the character’s birth, death, and major accomplishments. Parents should feel free to help their children write these speeches. A good way to write the speech is to find a child’s biography and follow the story line as you construct the speech. This will make for a more interesting speech rather than a mere recitation of facts from the encyclopedia. Students will be awarded extra points for including spiritual application in their speeches. Please adhere to the following time limits. K-1 Speeches must be 1-3 minutes in length with a minimum of 175 words. 2-3 Speeches must be 2-5 minutes in length with a minimum of 350 words. 4-6 Speeches must be 3-10 minutes in length with a minimum of 525 words. Students will give their speeches in class. They should be sure to have their speeches memorized well enough so they do not need any prompts. Please be aware that students who need frequent prompting will receive a low grade. Also, any student with a speech that doesn’t meet the minimum requirement will receive a “D” or “F.” Students must portray a different character each year. One of the goals of this assignment is to help our children learn about different men and women who have made America great. Help your child choose characters from whom they can learn much, and look for spiritual applications that can be learned from the person’s life.

This was a modification and reduction of a reservation established by a treaty of Oct. 18, 1865 (Stat. L xiv 717) with the Comanche and Kiowa. In 1868 A. G. Boone, Special Agent to the Kiowas and Comanches, and Pvt. Maj. Gen. W. B. Hazen were sent to Indian Territory to bring together the Kiowas, Comanches, and Apaches who wished to abide by their treaty commitments. Progress was made and the following year Boone’s successor, Laurie Tatum, arrived at agency headquarters near Fort Sill.
