County stories." Editor Warren is preserving the accounts
of early Panhandle residents while the participants, or their
children, can still tell the story.
Omitted from the list of contributors to the 1945 book auction
were the following: J. Evetts (Jimmie) Haley, Jr., J. Evetts
Haley, The Naylor Company, Earl Vandale, and Carl Hertzog.
If there were other omissions in the July Quarterly list, please
notify the office.
The following note from Lester B. Wood, Panhandle Plains
history enthusiast now of 1107 South Keeler Street, Bartletts-
ville, Oklahoma, will interest half the persons in West Texas
and all who have read Cook's Border and the Buffalo.
As you know there has been considerable argument about the location
and even the existence of Thompson's Canyon which is mentioned a
number of times in the Border and the Buffalo. Since seeing you last I
have seen an army map made about 1875 (in Washington) which shows
Thompsons Canyon as the north fork of the Double Mountain Fork. This
location of course is wrong but the map establishes the fact that there
was a location on the Double Mountain Fork known as Thompsons
Canyon in the 70's.
Also Wood has kindly furnished copies of James A. Watson
and Edwin V. Burkholder's article, "The Battle of Adobe
Walls," in True for February, 1945. Watson claims to be the
last survivor of the battle which occurred on Bent Creek in
Hutchinson County on June 27, 1874-a mighty struggle be-
tween buffalo hunters and Indians under Quanah Parker.
It is a real pleasure to announce that the forthcoming Jan-
uary Quarterly will contain a highly attractive article "Dime
Novel Texas; or, the Sub-Literature of the Lone Star State,"
by J. C. Dykes, 4511 Guilford Road, College Park, Maryland.
As a sort of curtain raiser for the forthcoming article, I am
attaching hereto an inquiry and information from Mr. Dykes.
Dykes is a collector of Texana in general but is especially
interested in Dime Novels. We are happy to add the Texas
Collection to the international pursuit seeking the identity of
Captain Flack. Mr. Dykes writes:
"Many efforts have been made to identify Capt. Flack, but none of
them have been successful," states Miss Harriet Smither, Texas State302
