Quote of the Week

From a New Mexico Territory Newspaper Editorial, circa. 1880

“There are no county officials in Potter County in the Panhandle of Texas. Better yet, there are no state officers to interfere with the unalloyed liberty which the inhabitants of that county enjoy. When any horse thieves or bad characters make their appearance they are strung up to the cottonwoods.”
