I'm not sure I have this in me to survive as they did.

But that didn't daunt Molly Goodnight at all, obviously, and she made the best of whatever she had to work with. Amazing lady.

I'm sure you know, Celia, that Oliver Loving (Goodnight's partner) is burined in Weatherfod as is Bose Ikard, the man called Deke in LONESOME DOVE. There are no Loving descendants here, but there are still Ikards in the Parker County.Caroline Clemmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14914658854159456335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-27265362106975067392012-03-18T11:20:18.594-05:002012-03-18T11:20:18.594-05:00I never knew any of this information.

I find this site the most informative of all that I visit. It never fails to meet its high standards. I always promise myself to read it every week but often get bogged down with things that relate to my own work and miss it. I'm glad there are archives to catch up when I have the time.Linda Swifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749255692298669394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-49537298908833813102012-03-18T10:03:12.783-05:002012-03-18T10:03:12.783-05:00What an interesting lady.

Although I write about western life, I think I probably would have gone crazy from the drudgery of every day life and the boredom. I don't know what I'd do without my trusty pen and notebook--and I imagine those things were hard to come by. I would have made pets of the chickens, too.<br />Wonderful post, as always!<br />CherylCheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-58674193056848133962012-03-18T07:57:36.574-05:002012-03-18T07:57:36.574-05:00very cool postvery cool postAnnette Snyderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01879067226705508336noreply@blogger.com
