2003 Hall of Fame Inductee

Bose Ikard*

Bose Ikard had a rich, full and dignified life on the west Texas frontier. He built a legacy through his deeds and unshakable trustworthy character as a trail driver and as Colonel Charles Goodnight's right hand man. As his confidential assistant, Ikard's responsibilities made it necessary to transport large sums of money, serve as bodyguard and act as a "banker." Colonel Goodnight wrote of Bose Ikard: "I have trusted him farther than any living man. He was my detective, banker and everything else." These attributes earned him the respect and trust of those around him.
