Echoes From the Back Trails

By Don McAlavy

Born into a small farming community during the depression Don saw his share of hardship and struggle. With that experience in mind he interviewed countless 'old timers' and people around the community to get his stories. Starting in 1976 with the Curry County Times and ending in 2010 with the Clovis News-Journal Don had over a thousand columns published. This volume represents just a tip of the iceberg of Don's many columns. They range from the somber (Please Daddy) to the hilarious (Vote Republican). Want to know what happened to the Caprock Amphitheater after Don left? Did Billy the Kid die in a shootout with Pat Garrett or as an old man in Hico Texas? Did you know they struck oil in Curry County? And what about that 100 tons of Gold? Who's buried in the Dycus plot? The US Cavalry on ostrich-back!? Learn the answers to these questions and more when you read ECHOES FROM THE BACK TRAILS.
