Scalp Creek Jerry, is a historian, or student of prehistory and history, mostly of the north American continent. I an intrigued by, and study much of the culture and artifacts of the ancient Native Americans (Indians), including stone artifacts, weapons such as the atlatl and bow and arrow. I also am very interested in the history of the old west from about 1820 thru 1900. Of particular interest to me is the "free trapper" era of the Mountain Man, the "old west" era of western gunfighters and gamblers from 1866-1901, and the revolutionary war, or the War for Independence of the USA , circa 1777. Interspersed in these studies and readings is the study of pioneer coinage, trade tokens, and early monies. I have expanded my interests to writing articles on trade tokens and early monies of the old west. I have expanded my interest to presenting historical sketches and information dressed in historical attire from the revolutionary war, civil war, old west and mountainman eras.

I'm the daddy of all the badmen that ever come from Buzzard Hole. I wuz nursed on whisky, cut my teeth on a circular saw, and rattlesnakes wuz my playmates. Us reptiles bite each other to see who's the most piz'nous, and I always win. I'm a death dealin' demon & hail from Dead Man's Gulch! The further up you go, the tougher they get, and I hole a mile past the last camp. I wuz cradled on cholla spines. Grizzlies and catamounts wuz my early playmates, and I'm so hard I kick fire outa flint with mah bare toes! I have to put tarantulas and vinegarroons in my whisky to give it bite. When I come to town all the other killers hide under their mammy's aprons! Hide out little ones, it's my night to drink gore!! If'n ya wanna to be kickin' mah butt, ya need to come on down to Killer Wells, Tejas, take a number & git in line with everyone else, no cuttin in line as I am a fine handgun shot!! When Magwa Kills grayhair, he will eat his heart!!++++++
"And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to." ...............and from "Full Metal Jacket" by Gunnery Sgt. Hartman:... "GOD plays His games, WE play ours. To show our appreciation for so much power, we keep Heaven and Hell packed with fresh souls. God was here before the Marine Corps, so you can give your heart to Jesus, but your ass belongs to the corps."
