Birdy, Webber’s Prairie is west northwest of Bastrop. 🤣Was trying to remember the fight the ranging company was in, Smithwick was there. They chased Comanches waaaaaaaaaaY up north. Smithwick was in the group that turned back way up on the Brazos and returned to Webber’s Prairie. The other group went on. I want to say they mY have been under the command of John R. Moore. They went way up almost to the area of present Wichita Falls. They made. Stand in a pile of rocks and brush. I seem to remember they may have set the brush on fire to make good an escape from the outnumbering Comanches.
Both ranging companies were really hurting for supplies.
