BRICK POMEROY MEMORABILIA IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING FACTUAL REPRESENTATION OF OUR WESTERN TREASURES BRICK POMEROY’S GREAT GIFT FOR PROMOTION GAVE PEOPLE CONFIDENCE IN EVERY PROJECT HE TRIED But folks, he was a puzzle. His great gift for promotion gave people confidence in every project he tried. But once a project showed signs of success, he invariably started another one, dooming the one he’d left behind to failure. Brick Pomeroy was familiar with failure. In fact, some people considered him THE WEST’S GREATEST FAILURE and here, the noted western author Danny V. Atchley recites the trials and tribulations of the man who built the first brick mansion in Denver and of his ultimate collapse.. There were many a western story published – the common ones about Cowboys and Indians are listed on Ebay every day but the rarer ones about the pioneers of 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 because really the better, untold and rarer stories were published in the rest. Here’s one of ‘em. 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. 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. Humbly, I am trying to keep our history alive I hope you appreciate the effort. 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.
