William O'Loughlen - Texas micro-historian, folklorist, and highway explorer.

William O'Loughlen pictured here near Miami, TX. The morning sky was dark and the wind had finally subsided. I left my tripod at home so the car's top would have to suffice. The O'Loughlin Ranch (please note different spelling) is located in Miami. The town of Miami was founded by Irishman, Thomas O'Loughlin in 1875. He was the first white to settle his family permanently in the Texas panhandle after discovering it while hunting buffalo.
