HIistory of West and Northwest Texas Since 1845

where God-fearing, sturdy men and women with the blood of
pioneers in their veins have gone into the wilderness and made
forest and plains to blossom as the rose, have been somewhat fol-
lowed and duplicated on the plains, valleys and hills of West and
Northwest Texas.

I have not had access to the several volumes printed by Captain
Marcy on his experiences in the army in his services in the South-
west though I feel sure they throw much light on my subject. And
while I have a file of the Texas Almanac, I have not examined
them especially in the preparation of this paper.
