...good question; but if it is a question, could you be a little more specific? Just what was the reason for any white man to be moving cattle along the border area in the 1880's? Was it always rustling? My father-in-law was an old timer living and ranching along the border in those days and was never known to be doing anything of the sort. Should he be labelled a rustler just because he cowboyed on a ranch in that location?

Darn! All my brother-in-law cowboys must have been real hooligans and I missed all the fun!!! Why don't I listen to the guys who lived it as well?

    I'm wondering if the Clantons were such honest ranchers why was 'old man Clanton' killed by Mexicans in Guadalupe canyon? Gee what was he doing there?

      Clanton was not involved in cattle rustling. He was ambushed and killed while bird watching on the mexican border.

        ...there you go! More of the same. What is the back-up; that's what I would like to see.
