A fierce warrior and inveterate foe of his tribes enemies.. which included some of the toughest on the northern plains and Rocky Mountains. He was also a friend and faithful ally of the US Government. Who while castigated by many later in the revisionist era of representing native conflicts of the 1960-70's; remains a legend.

Yep well comic books about the west today and for the past thirty years or so are nothing more then a reinvention of the famous 'penny-dreadful'.

For those interested in the machinations behind the concepts and practices of the Spanish land grant system. Here is an example that in essence personifies the norm and is also an example of the further development of grants long after the fact.. It's a lengthy read. But it's well written and concise and representative of the fine work from the scholars of the NM Office of the State Historian.

Joseph Alfred SladeA very tough man. Said to have ridden with Hickock, Sept 1860, on a recapture of horses taken from the Pony Express's Plant station; by Natives. They were recaptured, somewhere north of Sweetwater station on Clear Creek in Wyoming Terr. His bio is illuminating.

How did Dirty Dave get his nickname? Was it because he lacked personal hygiene, or because he had a "dirty" mind? |

''Nicknamed "Dirty Dave” because he rarely bathed and wore filthy clothes, he came
to notoriety in the 1870s as the head of a gang of thieves and rustlers in Texas. ''
