It’s hard for me to believe that this young Rebel in his mounted rifles Hardee hat could be unidentified, even after all these years. He’s a handsome fellow and his pose, on a simple chair without any painted background and minus the usual bellicose weaponry, is thoughtful and loving. Somebody’s Darling, no doubt. Yet, somehow, his descendants lost, or even worse sold, this likeness of him. And today no one seems to know who he was. R.I.P.

That’s Aurora, Texas, son, also styled “the town that almost was,” population just 1,144 as of two years ago. Northwest of Fort Worth.
The truth of the, uh, space alien depends on to whom you speak. The chamber of commerce, if there is one, will have its confirmation, too, I’m sure. If only by word-of-mouth. Heck, they already have “the world’s talking bird.”
