Hawk," Hastings, Del. by Reavis (facing p. 70). There is no picture
known for Placido, who was well known in Austin, Texas for two
decades before the Civil War, serving as a scout for the Texas Rangers
and the United States Army. Also, Thrall's "Comanche Warrior"
(after p. 437) is "Black Hawk," Lumley, Del., in Reavis (facing p.
86). Thrall's "A Chief of the Kiowas" (facing p. 452) with a bit of
the name of Hastings, Del., is "Billy Bowlegs," Hastings, Del., of the
Seminoles, in Reavis (facing p. 134).
The illustration of "Battle Creek Fight, Navarro County, 1838" in
Thrall (facing p. 462) is the same as "Stillman's Defeat" in Reavis
(facing p. 80). "Spanish Fandango" in Thrall (facing p. 828) is the
same as given in Reavis (p. 182). A scene showing "Aransas Bay,"
J. R. Telfer, St. L., is shown as "Lake Harney, Florida," J. R. Telfer,
St. L., in Reavis (p. 124).
Thrall used several other pictures purporting to show Indians of
Texas by the same delineators. These are not in Reavis" book but are
also suspect. They are "Indians" (facing p. 82), "Indian Horsemen"
(facing p. lol), and "Trading with Indians" (after p. 471). Two of
Thrall's pictures of Indians were reproduced in Mildred P. Mayhall,
The Indians of Texas: The Atakapa, The Kranakawa, The Tonkawa
(Ph.D. dissertation, University of Texas, 1939). These have been
corrected as mislabled. A number of books have reproduced these
sketches, one quite recently.
Students of Texas history are hereby advised against using these
mislabeled pictures.
