Shoal Creek July 1876

July 6th 1876 in the town of Shoal Creek. It was a hot and humid day but that didn't keep the crowds away. The women folk were trying to get the vote, deputies locked 'em up. But, let 'em out in time to cook supper. We elected a new sheriff, but he sold his seat to the corrupt Marshall Roe. Gunfight ensued and Sheriff Roe was shot down in the streets moments after he took office. After the gun smoke cleared, I made it back to the shop and got some work done on a cedar log. Love the smell of cedar and it sure finishes nice! I managed to get a few photos of the day's work. It seems I have a new roommate in the cabin, he left his old skin, but at least I didn't see any mice. If you didn't make it out this month you have a couple more chances this summer.
