Noted biographer Rudi R. Rodriguez presented an overview on the life of legendary Native Tejano José Policarpio “Polly” Rodriguez at Comfort Public Library.
Polly carries an impressive resume of former careers as a frontiersman, U.S. Army scout and guide, rancher, county official and minister. Along with his ancestors, Polly went on to establish many parts of Texas we recognize today.
“Polly Rodriguez is a great example of native Tejano contributions and accomplishments that have not yet seen the light of day,” Rudi Rodriguez said during his Sept. 15 presentation. “He played an enormous role in expanding the present-day American West and Southwest.”
