Westerners Meeting
| Tuesday, December 13, 2016, 06:30pm |
Dinner is served at the meeting, and the cost is $12.00 per person for members and $15.00 per person for non-members. The public is invited to attend and reservations must be made by Sunday, December 11. Bill Adams will provide an entertaining presentation about the life and times of his great-great grandfather, Will Adams. Will Adams lived his life in the “cowboy era”. Around 1860 when Adams was a baby, his family journeyed west, planning to go to California, and then took a detour to Salt Lake City. Their further travels took them to Arizona and Mexico. Bill Adams grew up hearing stories about his great-great grandfather’s life and sometimes fantastic adventures from his grandfather and father, whom he noted are great storytellers. Initially, Bill had intended to write a story about Will Adams for the Single Action Shooting Society journal, “The Cowboy Chronicle”. However, before writing the article, he thought he should research some of the stories about Will to make sure they were not just tall tales. Bill noted that he first began just checking genealogical records to see if dates matched the stories, which surprisingly they did. During the next step of research, he came across several books that corroborated stories about his family, including eyewitness accounts of people that were with his great-grandfather’s family. He eventually found so much information and documentation that he compiled Will’s adventures and escapades in two books, Two-Gun, The Forgotten Legend of Will Adams, and Two-Gun, Legacy of a Promise.
Bill Adams is a native New Mexican, and lives in Las Cruces with his wife. He operates the Adams Auto Center, which has been in business for 60 years, started by his grandfather in 1956. He is also a real estate agent in Las Cruces. He enjoys being involved in the local cowboy action shooting club, and travels to various shooting events around the state.
