Hi Mr. Nolan,
I just purchased your book on the town of Tascosa, as my wife's great grand uncle was the John Lang who was involved in the 1886 gunfight there. I noticed that you made mention of the fact that he may have been a town marshal in Amarillo for a while. I wonder if you could tell me more? I'm trying to find out more about his life (which seems to have been a very interesting one) as part of a genealogy project I'm doing. Sadly, all we have of John Lang is an excerpt from a newspaper that was printed in the 1940s, so your book is a treasure trove for us.
Any more help you might be able to offer would be greatly appreciated.

Hello. I hope it's appropriate to post a request here. I wasn't sure how else to contact you. I discovered that you once provided a sketch of Isaac "Ike" Stockton to another western researcher/author. I am doing local historical research in Durango, Colorado, specifically on the Animas City Cemetery where Ike is buried. I am creating a website on the cemetery and would like to include the sketch with your permission.

Thank you for your contributions to researching and recording history, especially the western U.S.!

Regards,
Julie Pickett
