COMANCHE SCALPING MEMORABILIA IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING FACTUAL REPRESENTATION NOT RETREAD HISTORY Folks, I knew little about this story but I am so happy that I found it. The history of the old West is well laced with strange happenings, many wholly incredible but nevertheless true, many so bizarre as to defy all belief, but to me the most fantastic of all is the story of Josiah Wilbarger of pioneer Texas. Ambushed by Indians, wounded numerous times by both arrows and bullets, scalped, stripped and left bathed in his own blood to die, still he lived and was given the courage to hang on by the spirit of a dead woman and in the end was saved by a strange dream of a neighbor. I recommend reading and saving these old stories that have been seldom seen or rarely read. As many of you know, I specialize in finding old American history, pictures and stories of long ago.
