I just went to look for my book "The West That Was" by John Leakey the founder of Leakey Tx. Couldn"t find it, but it is a good read. The East fork of the Frio held up pretty well through this bad drought about 6-8 in. low. Leakey settled by the "big spring", I haven't been able to find it- private property. You all saw what happened to the Frio at Reagan Wells. Indians and black bear were still around, he was talking about herding turkey and hogs to Kerrville(60-70 miles?)
