I like how Columbus's missing Florida and the premiere of American Bandstand are on the same list.
Thank you for hooking up to my blog Evan, because it allowed me to find your's. And I must say I truly found your tall tales thoroughly enjoyable fare. You have an interesting style, and I look forward to keeping abreast of it from now on.
Thanks, JerThom! Another tale in the Dave and Davy Crockett series is coming up in the second Express Westerns anthology.
