On the descent into Alpine, Texas, where I'm now in a motel, I saw this historical marker, of which kind there were many. I guess some parts of the US haven't yet realized that Indians (First Nations) who were protecting their lifestyle, and bandits who were the dregs of society, shouldn't be considered on par with each other; I guess history here is still seen through the eyes of the white pioneers only. West Texas needs some more diverse education, though I do gotta admit that folks here are mighty friendly. I wonder how friendly they'd be if I weren't white?
