1946 - 1951 ORIGINAL PAIR [2] OF MANUSCRIPT DIARIES HANDWRITTEN BY A WEST TEXAS BORDER PATROL AGENT

They start in May 1st, 1946 through September 30th, 1951. He worked West Texas around Presidio and does a super job detailing his work life from the mundane: shoeing his own horse and the names of other patrol agents he worked with to the exciting: hunting and catching aliens, hauling them off to jail, naming the ranches he patrolled and much more.
