Got an email from The Old Bison earlier this week. He is moving to Scottsdale and selling his spectacular home north of Austin, Texas.

As he put it, "We designed it for two working historians, with more built-in book shelves than most people want. It’s all on one floor and (the big selling point) overlooks Lake Georgetown and the adjacent park greenbelt. In normal economic times, we could have got more than $700,000 for it. Now, we are about to bring it down to $599,000. We can’t go much lower without losing our financial backup.

"I’m attaching a link that may or may not work that Harlan Hague is hanging on his web site.

A Fantastic Historian's Home

"Our realtor, Prudential, also has a virtual tour online. We would value your opinion."

Of course, the Old Bison is Robert Utley. This is a historian's dream home with amazing provinance, as they say in the biz. Talk about owning a piece of history. Spread the word. Let's keep this one in the family, if we can. Thanks.
