The following photos of Old
Tascosa and its residents of the 1880's are from the
book
"Maverick Town The Story of Old Tascosa" by John L. McCarty.
Our gratitude to the University of Oklahoma Press for permission to place these photos on
our web page.
Many communities in Texas used Texas
merchant and saloon tokens as a medium of exchange during the 1870's and
1880's. The J. M. Brunswick and Balk Company produced many of these tokens.
Tascosa is the only known community in Oldham County that used these tokens.
David Durocher has submitted this image of a rare 1874 token used exclusively in
Tascosa.
