 Grub-Pile
Poem - Custom original only available at the
Rocky Mountain General Store. Text on Front: I've laid at night an'
listened to the lowin' of the steers; I've heard the coyote's melancholy
wail ring in my ears. The croonin' of the night-wind as it swept across
the range Was mournful-like an' dreary, an' it sounded grim an' strange.
But when the break o' day was near, an' from our tarps we'd crawl, The
mornin' song that charmed us was that welcome grub-pile call. Text on
back: In the days of the
Old West,
the call to a meal was one of the sweetest sounds heard to the
cowboys, who had traveled miles across the range. The most beloved
man on the cattle drive was the camp cook, referred to by various names
including biscuit roller, coosie, dough belly, soggy, sour dough, and
dozens more. Postcard is brand new and in mint condition.

 Greetings
From a Postcard-O-Maniac - Text on back: I love postcards!! Postcard
collecting is the world's third largest collectable hobby. It is surpassed
only by coin and stamp collecting. In the U.S., it is the fourth largest
hobby, as baseball collecting is higher. It is also the most popular form
of souvenir for travelers. Postcard is brand new and in mint condition.
 All
Signs Point to Route 66! - Text on back: Established in 1926,
Route 66 connected many of the small towns of the
American
West, spanning 2,500 miles from
Chicago to
Los Angeles.
In 1984, the vintage "Mother
Road" was decommissioned and bypassed by interstates. Today,
Route 66 sees a rebirth as a new generation searches for "signs" of
simpler times.

 Colorado Gold - Custom original only available at the
Rocky
Mountain General Store. Text on back: Beginning in 1859, the
Colorado Gold
Rush lasted
throughout the early 1860s and is considered to be the largest gold rush in
American History. For decades, prospectors flooded the rocky Mountains, creating
numerous early towns which ultimately led to the creation of
Colorado Territory
in 1861 and the State in 1876. Today, many of these old settlements have
disappeared or become ghost towns, while others continue to thrive. The photos
depicted on front include
Cripple Creek Mines and Aspen Silver mines first
published at the turn of the century. Postcard

 Greetings From Kansas
- Text on back:
Kansas has many claims to fame,
including a long history of pre-Civil War battles when it was first labeled the
"Free State," as well as unparalleled Old West legacies in its many cowtowns,
Native
American history, and along the historic westward trails. Though most
perceive
Kansas as being "flat as a pancake," it actually rises in elevation
some 3,300 feet from the
Missouri
border to the
Colorado border, and off the
beaten path, can be seen hills and valleys, unique rock formations, and six
scenic byways.

 Greetings From the Old West - Text
on back: After the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, more and more settlers
moved westward for new beginnings, land, and hopes of prosperity.
During the many gold and silver rushes, yet more people pushed
westward into what was often, never seen, unexplored and sometimes
violent territory. Over the next century, the "West" was tamed, but
even today, there is a "frontier mentality" in many places that cannot
be found anywhere else in the world. Postcard is brand new and in mint
condition.
