stations along the way, delivering everything from letters to essential supplies. The Track is
still just that - a track through the desert and sandhills. Tom began in the days before
reliable vehicles, good communications and air access in case of emergency. He made running
repairs to his truck, he loaded and unloaded tons of stores to ferry his cargo across flooded
creeks. He kept people in touch with the outside world - and was sometimes caught up in the
grief of a lonely death. Tom Kruse always got the mail through - come drought, hell or high
water. Fine copy. Price: $50.00
