MATTHIAS SPLITTLOG
MILLIONAIRE INDIAN
Folks, Matthias Splitlog was an
Indian with a million dollar grab bag. An Indian without an
education but he was a mechanical genius, a shrewd business man,
and the first, if not the only Indian, to build a railroad, become
a millionaire and a legend among both Indian and white man. Heck,
he even had his own railway car decorated with ornate gold leaf
with the name
"Bird in Hand."
Please read this. There were many a
western story published – the common ones about
cowboy and Indians are listed on Ebay every day but the rarer ones
about the contributions of Indians to the old west like this one
are seldom found. Collectors treasure them and their price guide
value rises every day. They are hard to find. I hunt them out cause
really the better, untold and rarer stories were published in the
rest.
Here’s one of
‘em.
FOLLOWING PURCHASE AND PAYMENT, IF
YOU WILL WRITE ME OF YOUR SPECIAL NAME OR INTEREST, I WILL DO A
FREE SEARCH OF MY UNINDEXED STORIES AND NAMES.

IF I FIND SOMETHING THAT I THINK
MERITS YOUR INTEREST, I WILL WRITE A REVIEW AND PLACE IT ON EBAY
AND GIVE YOU NOTICE AND A HEAD START TO
BUYITNOW!
Following my retirement, I have
dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our
western pioneers. During my research, I discovered that thousands
of our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized on some book
dealer’s shelf gathering dust. Humbly, I am
trying to keep our history alive. Because Old Western History and
Memorabilia was printed before computer indexing, I index every
item I sell.
This complete index will be bound
and included in this offering at no additional cost.
I hope you appreciate the
effort.
MATTHIAS SPLITLOG; MILLIONAIRE
INDIAN
By Wayne T. Walker
Folks, sooner or later -
Genealogists are going to realize that their family kinfolks are
laying on some dealer's dusty shelves. If I can contribute to
finding one little name or photo of that long lost ancestor you
have been waiting to find, it’s worth all the
time I spend.

MATTHIAS SPITLOG, A MECHANICAL
GENIUS
AND A SHREWD BUISNESS MAN
As many of you know, I specialize
in finding old stories of long ago that have been overlooked,
seldom found and rarely read. Here is the story entitled "MATTHIAS
SPLITLOG: MILLIONAIRE INDIAN," by Wayne T. Walker which relates the
history of the Splitlog genealogy and the feats of this great
American. A revealing telling of this true story. You will not read
this anywhere else. What a story, Rare Story!!! Great Pictures. You
will love it as it was published in this UNUSUAL AND RARE old
western magazine of many years ago.
OLD SPLITLOG MEMORABILIA IS RAPIDLY
DISAPPEARING
While others clip ads from
magazines, I save history. It’s a shame that our
past is being lost. It’s as simple as
that.
My wife kids me that after I find a
piece I like, buy it, read it, research it, take a picture, scan
it, write the blurb, pay the Ebay entry fee and commission, that I
end up making about 50 cents an hour. But, OH HOW I LOVE THIS OLD
WESTERN HISTORY. What a story, Rare Story!!! Great Pictures. You
will love it as it was published in this old complete western
magazine of many years ago. The issue is in excellent condition,
the cover is pristine and in vibrant color.
As clearly stated in my
description, this is featured story in a rarely found and seldom
read unusual and complete, hard to find western magazine. I don't
give out name of publication or date because I have caught
competitors copying my index and work and trying to sell it as
theirs. I hope you understand.
Buyer pays postage of $3.50 First
Class Postage to U. S.; $4.75 Priority; $4.50 to Canada; $11.00 via
USPS First Class Mail International for International Mail. (We
have been very disappointed in the time frame for our international
mailing. It seems our post office is now mailing surface mailing
and it sometimes take over 30 days to get to destination. If you
care for faster delivery, just tell me and I will figure faster
delivery.) Texans must pay 8-¼ % sales tax.
Thanks,
Tom
