Frontier Times Museum
Frontier Times Museum is a museum of the American West located in Bandera in the Texas Hill Country. The facility was opened to the public in 1933 by the author, historian, and printer John Marvin Hunter (1880–1957).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Frontier Times Museum: A Monument to Pioneer Days )〕
==Museum exhibits==
The museum is named for Hunter’s popular ''Frontier Times'' magazine, which he launched in 1923. It is located at 510 13th Street across from the First Baptist Church. Hunter acquired a house in 1927 to hold his growing collection of materials on the West. He used native building materials, including stone, fossils, petrified wood, and formations from area caves.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Frontier Times Museum )〕 On display are some 40,000 Old West relics, western art and antiques, and Indian artifacts. There are Chinese temple bells and posters of Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Show.〔Texas Department of Transportation, ''2008 State Travel Guide'', p. 80〕 Specific exhibits include a printing press, fireplace, cowboy awards, and a small gallery of paintings. Occasional special events are held, such as the "National Day of the American Cowboy" on July 25.〔
One of the exhibits focuses on Amasa Clark (1825–1927), a native of New York and the first permanent Anglo settler in Bandera County. He was led to the Medina River Valley by friendly Indians, where he reared nineteen children by two wives and lived to be past one hundred years of age. He established fruit orchards on a farm along Indian Creek. He was among the last living veterans of the Mexican War and later received a pension for his service. A cemetery in Bandera County bears his name.〔Amasa Clark exhibit, Frontier Times Museum, Bandera, Texas〕
Another exhibit features José Policarpio "Polly" Rodriguez (January 22, 1829–March 22, 1914) of Bandera. As a boy, Rodriguez was apprenticed as a gunsmith after the death of his mother. During the 1850s, he was a scout on U.S. government road expeditions through Texas. During the American Civil War, he served for a time with Confederate Generals Robert E. Lee and Albert Sidney Johnston and with the Texas Rangers. Converted to Methodism, Rodriguez in 1878 became a circuit-riding minister, having last served congregations in Poteet and Floresville. He died of pneumonia. His museum exhibit describes him as "winning many souls to Christ, he suffered privation, persecution, sorrow; unmoved he went with singing and joy to the very end."〔Jose Policarpio Rodriguez exhibit, Frontier Times Museum〕
