Earlier, someone mentioned Wilbarger’s "Indian Depredations In Texas".
Many of those accounts happened within a 15 mile circle of my old digs. Took Birdy on a little impromptu tour of the area once. Author Wilbarger’s Uncle, Josiah, who’s story is a legend here and described in the book 1831 land grant is just across a hayfield from my old front door maybe 1/2 a mile.
"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."
