INDIAN TORTURE DANCES

By: Colonel Richard I. Dodge

Friends, guess this is the first time in 12 years of western story reporting that I found the description of Indians torture dances. If they cried, yelped or even made a face as if they were in pain, they were let go and treated as a woman. They were not allowed to hunt or do anything that an Indian man was allowed to do. White men of honor were allowed to participate in the ceremony. We must continue to save the history of our native American Indian traditions. Here is the story entitled:

INDIAN TORTURE DANCES

By: Colonel Richard I. Dodge

Please read this. This is an overlooked story I found in an unusual and different magazine. There were many a western story published ? the common ones about Cowboys and Indians are listed on Ebay every day but the rarer ones about the torture dances of the Indian culture are seldom found. Collectors treasure them and their price guide value rises every day. They are hard to find. I hunt them out because really the better, untold and rarer stories were published in the rest.

Here?s one of ?em.

FOLLOWING PURCHASE AND PAYMENT, IF YOU WILL WRITE ME OF YOUR SPECIAL NAME OR INTEREST, I WILL DO A FREE SEARCH OF MY COLLECTION AND UNINDEXED STORIES AND NAMES. TOM RUSSELL COLLECTION

IF I FIND SOMETHING THAT I THINK MERITS YOUR INTEREST, I WILL WRITE A REVIEW AND PLACE IT ON EBAY AND GIVE YOU NOTICE AND A HEAD START TO BUYITNOW!

Following my retirement, I have dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our western heroes. During my research, I discovered that thousands of our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized on some book dealer?s shelf gathering dust. Because Old Western History and Memorabilia was printed before computer indexing, I index every item I sell.

This complete index will be bound and included in this offering at no additional cost.

Humbly, I am trying to keep our history alive.

I hope you appreciate the effort.

INDIAN TORTURE DANCES

By: Colonel Richard I. Dodge

Folks, sooner or later ? Genealogists are going to realize that their family kinfolks are laying on some dealer?s dusty shelves. If I can contribute to finding one little name or photo of that long lost ancestor you have been waiting to find, it?s worth all the time I spend. As a tribute to the honor of our American Indians, my indexed listings will include all Indian names mentioned in the story from this time on.

INDIAN TORTURE DANCES

By: Colonel Richard I. Dodge

OLD AMERICAN INDIAN LEGENDS AND

MEMORABILIA ARE RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING

While others clip ads from magazines, I save history. It?s a shame that our past is being lost. It?s as simple as that.

My wife kids me that after I find a piece I like, buy it, read it, research it, take a picture, scan it, write the blurb, pay the Ebay entry fee and commission, that I end up making about 50 cents an hour. But, OH HOW I LOVE THIS OLD WESTERN HISTORY. What a story, Rare Story!!! Great Pictures. You will love it as it was published in this old complete western magazine of many years ago. The issue is in good condition, the cover is in vibrant color.

As clearly stated in my description, this is featured story in a rarely found and seldom read unusual and complete western magazine. I don't give out name of publication or date because I have caught competitors copying my index and work and trying to sell it as theirs. I hope you understand.

Buyer pays postage of $3.50 First Class Mail to U. S. ; $5.00 Priority; $13.25 for International Mail. Texans must pay 8-¼ % sales tax. Thanks,

Tom
