http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/145435707

Handwritten letters written in 1932 from Raymond in Dobey, Oklahoma to C. R. Roth of Denver Colorado. These items were apparently written in response to questions about life in Dodge City. Raymond writes about the infromal history of Dodge City including frontier dance halls, gun fights, murders, "cooties," "fallen women," vigilante justice, life in the Indian camps, and his family's service in the Union Army during the American Civil War. Raymond dwells particularly on the federal government's slaughter of the buffalo and its consequences to the Indians.
