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.

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.

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.
