Personal reflections reveal a deep appreciation for pioneers and their impact in Northwest Texas.
I’ve always been interested in pioneers, especially those that settled the West. I come by my fascination organically. Born in Northwest Texas, the Panhandle, a good summer day for us as kids would be to have my aunt drive us to the city of Canyon to visit the Panhandle Plains Historical Museum. We could spend hours there.
