Quentin M. Thomas (AKA Texas Red) is a native of Fort Worth, Texas and a retired USAF Colonel. He has had a love for the American West since his youth at the Saturday morning matinees. He has done extensive research on the American West and is an accomplished historian with extensive studies in American history from the civil war era forward. Reared near the Chisholm Trail in Ardmore, Oklahoma he has never been far from the influences of the American cowboy. He has lived across America and savored her heritage, is a published author, business consultant, and frequent speaker on American history.
Many have heard of the Old Spanish Trail, but have misleading ideas of its use and course. Robert Hurst takes the reader on a 465 mile journey through the eyes of early Spaniards and others across the marshes, swamps, rivers, natural bridges, and highlands of Florida from St. Augustine to Pensacola.
Somewhere on the border between reality and fantasy lies the land of “What Ifs.” A little boy wakes from a busy dream to discover something has changed in his safe, familiar bedroom. A horn that looks exactly like the ones in the pattern of his bedspread is lying on the rug beside his bed. “What if,” he thinks, the cotton soldiers on his bedspread came alive and left it behind? A child’s fantasy. Or is it?
