Uncle Jim’s Saddle

Jim Freese, my wife’s great uncle, used this saddle in the 1940′s and 1950′s to work cattle on his ranch in San Saba.  We are very fortunate to have inherited this family heirloom and authentic piece of Texas history.

Emptied Pockets

Visualize, if you will, a man who lived a long time ago and who might have just returned from an “adventure” on the dusty trails of Texas.  He empties his pockets and pours a whiskey to wash the trail dust from his throat.  Where has he been?  What has he been doing?  A picture speaks a thousand words.  What does this picture say to you?
