Lonny,

I suggest looking into the book mentioned in the bibliography of this from Handbook of Texas.

Jack Jackson is a pretty good authority on early Texas history. I didn’t know this book existed.

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison?
And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
