Frontier Times Magazine

Frontier Times Magazine was published during a time when early Texas settlers, pioneers cattlemen and observers of the events were still alive and able to tell their stories. (1923 - 1954) Its articles are written largely from the vantage point of the eye-witness observer or actual participant in the event. Now they are available online exclusively from FrontierTimesMagazine.com. The site has an extensive search engine to direct you to specific people, places and events. I have already found two of my family members mentioned in a story about an Indian altercation in Central Texas.
