Traces of Texas reader Ed Smith's father, also Ed Smith, was a cowboy on the Matador Ranch beginning in 1914. One of his fellow cowboys was Lonesome Dove author Larry McMurtry's uncle, John McMurtry, and it is John McMurtry who is shown here in this amazing portrait. I wonder if Larry McMurtry has seen this.    Thank you, Ed. This is really mind-blowing! Antique Photos, Wild West Theme, Lonesome Dove, Matador
