Shirley Hampton,

Please elaborate on your M.M. Lander's "freight buiness on the Frontier." ..I assume that you mean the North and West Frontier of Texas. ..Where did he live? ..Which towns did he freguent? ..And yes, which trails did he travel?

We have spent years trying to make sense of the 1860-1870 records of North and West Texas, so please help. ..As you know most of these records are fragmented. ..Please help.

Also, where on Red River did your M.M. Landers freeze to death? ..I study the counties along Red River from Texarkana to Childress TX.

P.S. I would appreciate your sending the requested vital data on your M.M. Landers.
