DEAD MEN CAN’T TESTIFY GENEALOGY INDEX: SEE MASSIVE INDEX BELOW PRINTED LARGE ENOUGH FOR US OLD FOLKS TO READ. “Ladron, qui mata a ladron Merecer cien anon de perdon” The thief who kills a thief Deserves a hundred years’ relief (Relief from the pains of Purgatory) DEAD MEN CAN’T TESTIFY By: Angus MacLean Folks, in the old pioneer days travel between Los Angeles and San Francisco, roadmen were in complete charge. Travelers and settlers were massacred without mercy. I have spent hours indexing the names for all you who might be interested in looking for your family. If there are mistakes, don’t hesitate to contact me so I can correct them. Here is the story entitled; DEAD MEN CAN’T TESTIFY By: Angus MacLean Please read this. There were many a western story published – the common ones about Cowboys and Indians are listed on Ebay every day but the rarer ones about the French Camp Incident of the Mexican and American settlers of the pioneer days in California are seldom found. Collectors treasure them and their price guide value rises every day. They are hard to find. I hunt them out because really the better, untold and rarer stories were published in the rest. Here’s one of ‘em. Following my retirement, I have dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our western heroes. During my research, I discovered that thousands of our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized on some book dealer’s shelf gathering dust. Because Old Western History and Memorabilia was printed before computer indexing, I index every item I sell. This complete index will be bound and included in this offering at no additional cost. Humbly, I am trying to keep our history alive. I hope you appreciate the effort. DEAD MEN CAN’T TESTIFY By: ANGUS MACLEAN Folks, sooner or later – Genealogists are going to realize that their family kinfolks are lying on some dealer’s dusty shelves. If I can contribute to finding one little name or photo of that long lost ancestor you have been waiting to find, its worth all the time I spend. As a tribute to the honor of our American Indians, my indexed listings will include all Indian names mentioned in the story from this time on.
