The American Southwest

Thomas Wayne Riley

This is a podcast of the people, places, and things of the American West. Think cowboys and Indians, bison and cactus, national parks and ghost towns, Mormons and prospectors, nukes and aliens, Tombstone, the Anasazi, Route 66, and everything in between. I’ll dive deep into historical people and events and the cultures and policies that helped shape this area of the American frontier world that’s left so many of the rest of the planet in envy of the mythic American Southwest.

Askins was a National Forest Ranger, he had scrapes with Apaches, he was a Border Patrol Agent along the Rio Grande, he was a champion shooter, a soldier in North Africa & Europe during WWII, and he may have been the first man on
