The Legend of the Frontier Boys
|
As near as anyone can remember, it began in 1862. That was the year that Frontier
Wagon Parts was started in Biglie, Wyoming. See, with roads being what they were
back then, wagons had a heck of a time staying in one piece. Course, not all the
pieces and parts of a wagon went bad at the same time. So there you were with whole
wagons being burned outside of town, even though there was still a heap of good
parts available on them.
Frontier started that year in order to provide quality, well-sanded, and well-greased
wagon parts to anyone who needed 'em. The small band of "gentlemen" involved in
Frontier that year were affectionately known by the townspeople of Biglie as "The
Frontier Boys." The new wagon dealers didn't take too kindly to the boys keeping
folks from buying new wagons ervery year or so and you can bet they did what they
could to scare the boys off.

Even so, them boys would do just about anything they could to find a good part for
their customers. Lookin' for parts was part of the job, danger be danged.
"If'n a customer wants a part, I'm gonna do my darndest to locate it fer 'em." CW
was fond of saying. Shoot, them boys was always ready and willing to wrassle a part,
big and small, for a customer. You shoulda seen the boys go at them combustion engines
when them things first started showin' up round town. Rumor has it that VW was the
first to tame one of them doggies. As one resident of Biglie recalls, "That VW,
just kept riding and shouting "Yeehaw! Welcome to Frontier!"
