Have any of you guys read the book by J.W. Wilbarger titled "Indian Depredations In Texas" ?
It is a very interesting read that focuses on the " Battles, wars, adventures, forays, murders, massacres, etc., etc."
I assume it is rather one sided, yet I was a bit shocked on the cruelty of the Indians towards women and children.
I was wondering what you scholars think of the book and it's authenticity?
Yes. I have that one.
I’m pretty sure Wilbarger’s accounts are accurate, he spoke to the people involved, first person.
