The Top Secret Writer has been commissioned to write an op-ed piece for the Boston Globe on "The Return Of The Western." Every ten years or so, this headline seems to resurface, again and again. But that's not the only thing that's cyclical:

Fred Nolan Reacts To The Santa Fe Jail Location Article
"Amazing how people keep rediscovering stuff that was old hat years ago. Seems like if you don't make a fuss about what you've found, all you're doing is leaving a headline for someone else to grab.

"And will someone please tell the schmuck who wrote the story that Tunstall and McSween indubitably met and more than probably ate at Herlow's Hotel, not the Exchange. That information was in my biography of JHT [John Henry Tunstall] published over fifty years ago.

"Grrrr."
-Fred Nolan

Yes, it seems as if each generation (mine included) rediscovers something that has been dug up multiple times and says, "Wow! Look what I found!"
