EP. 139: An English Earl in Texas…

October 12, 2025

The 7th Earl of Aylesford was quite the character. His exploits in England were “of note.” In fact, they were of such note that he had to leave the country. So he (naturally) decided to become a ranchman in Big Spring in the late 19th Century. A friend to all, the Earl enjoyed the good company of his fellow cowboys and wasn’t scared to pay a bar tab. Learn about Lord Finch and his time as a cowboy in this latest episode of Wise About Texas.
