My Land, My Heritage, My Hope: Slide 65
title My Land, My Heritage, My Hope: Slide 65description Photograph of Robert E. Lee Tyler with a group of people (including two horse-drawn wagons) at the Half-Way House in Marfa, Texas. The building is a small, one-story stone structure. A handwritten note in the lower-left corner says "1/2 Way house." The image accompanied a written speech, with the caption: "[Robert E. Lee Tyler] married Dora Collins from the rapidly growing town of Marfa and took her to live at a lonely ranch house between Marfa and Shafter. At the Half-way House they provided food for ranch hands, miners, and stage passengers. In 1885, Mr. Tyler bought a ranch and used TYL as his brand on some of the finest Hereford cattle in West Texas" (p. 7).artist/creator Unknownsubject People Wagons Business, Economics And Finance - Service Industries Tyler, Robert E.
