I'll probably allus be a dam' Yanqui, or at least a Westerner. Living here in North Tejas for 11 years doesn't qualify me to be a legit Tejano, but the AR connection? How about this? My mother spent years trying to trace the whereabouts of her great-grandfather, who left his wife in Utah before the Civil War because she was fooling around with another, well-heeled Mormon who wasn't off for months at a time leading supply trains back and forth from St. Louis to Happy Valley. Couldn't locate him. Didn't know if he'd joined the Union or the Confederacy and was killed in the war. If the latter, trying to find out what happened to him was damn near impossible since most Confederate records were destroyed in the war.

At one point, she found a name that could have been him attached to a Texas infantry regiment, but that's about all, until... many years later, after she died, a cousin of mine actually found his grave in Ft. Smith, Arkansas. He'd apparently lived in Indian Territory for awhile, may or may not have been the guy with the same name fighting under Texas command. He ended up marrying an Indian (tribe unknow, but probably Muskogee Cherokee, and died "in a cyclone" that hit the area right around the turn of the century.

Is that good enough?

To keep this on-topic, I'll try to draft up a screenplay dealing with resurrected cyclone victims wreaking revenge on the ancestors of the people who cuckolded them.
