When The West Was Wild in Pottsboro Texas: When The West Was Wild Volume 1

By Natalie Clountz Bauman

I will try to present aspects of Pottsboro area history that is not well known and in a different way that I hope you find interesting, informative and entertaining. My purpose for this book will not be to re-hash everything what has been written before in other books. When I was young, I used to think the most entertaining thing to do in Pottsboro was sit around and watch the hubcaps rust on Daddy's old truck. We may think our area and town is boring, or maybe we look at it as being peaceful. But in the not so distant past, this western town, and its outskirts, were truly wild.
