Tales From out Yonder is a mixture of stories about people, places, and things-from frontiersman-rancher-fugitive Humpy Jackson, who drove Col. Randald Mackenzie and his 4th Cavalry soldiers crazy; to the Earl of Aylesford, an English nobleman who settled in Big Spring, bought a ranch and businesses, then drank himself to death; to Pancho Villa's war for the movie cameras; to Mason County's "Hoodoo" War. Read about aviation, outlaws, rainmakers, ghost towns, painted rocks, barbed wire, Nazi prisoners, Buffalo Soldiers, cedar choppers, madstones, gold, salt, onions, and more.
