Tired! I am so tired from my
hair roots to the end of my toe
nails. My body has been rebel-
ling for a couple of weeks and I
have not heeded it so long that
now I can not rest when I go to
bed. Has anyone else had this
problem? I know that I need to
rest but just couldn’t. I had a fa-
cial done this week and I came
home sat in my lounge chair and
went to sleep immediately. Af-
ter the nap I felt like doing some
house work that I had been put-
ting off since the family reunion
a couple of weeks ago and the
Wedding last week. It felt good
to get part of the mess cleaned

minimum interna 1 temperatures

was here all week along with
her daughter, Deidra who did
the flowers at the Wedding of
Jordan and Dalton.
It is drawing close to mid-
night so I will retire to bed and
see if sleep will come. Good
night to all and have a very hap-
py Fourth of July Celebration.
that were not running, they seemed to
be walking casually, then after a while
started moving faster and unloaded
everything they had. Who could these
tracks belong to? After trailing these
two horses nearly 50 miles Goodnight
determined they were headed to a large
Indian encampment that he could see
on the horizon. Goodnight reported
back to Ross with his report, Ross
decided not to pursue the matter any
farther. Who did the two pair of horse
tracks belong to, who had escaped to
the west?
On a second account, Quanah said
close to 50 years after the Battle at
Pease River that "Sui Ross did not kill
his father Peta Nocona, that I saw my
father die 3-4 years later from an old
battle wound on the south banks of the
Canadian River, near Antelope Hills. I
want to set history straight about when
my father died."
So what is fact, and what is fabrica-
tion? Here's some of the facts. Cynthia
Ann Parker and daughter were there at
Pease River. An interpreter identified
the warrior Ross shot as Chief Nocona.

spoke to him in Comanche, the war-
rior replied in the same language and
grabbed his warshirt and thrust it open
so that the interpreter could not miss
with his shotgun at two feet.
After the blast the captive woman
began to demand to be taken to the
body of the Indian they had shot. It is
said that the woman began to cry out
“Nocona, Nocona". Later she had to be
drug away from his body.
The woman was blue eyed and with
blonde hair. The soldiers began calling
out names of captive girls to see if she
would react to any of them. When they
called the name "Cynthia Ann Park-
er" she pointed to herself "Me Cynthy
Ann". The soldiers were relieved to
have found one of the captive girls.

I love doing the cakes but I was

The wedding was so beauti-

Here are some of the questions, Why

Chief Nocona wasn't there? Who

Goodnight trailed 50 miles to another
Indian camp?
Captain Lawrence Sui Ross's story
changed a few times as years past.
Can you imagine that a Texas Rang-
er, State Representative and soon to be
Governor of Texas could fabricate or
change a story to possibly help him-
self get elected. Politicians would be
appalled.
Maybe were better off to form our
own opinion to what may or may not
have happened at the Pease River Bat-

killed the Mexican girl, but as soon as
the lead rider hit the ground he began
to shoot arrows, there is no doubt that
this was a warrior. One arrow from
his bow hit Ross's horse, this caused
Ross's horse to buck, in the confusion
of everything Ross got off a pistol shot
that luckily hit the Indian in the elbow,
This stopped the arrows from being
shot at Ross. About this time Ross had
gathered his horse and dismounted.
The Indian drew his knife and came
running toward Ross. Two shots from
Ross's pistol hit the warrior square in
the chest. The Indian walked over to
a tree and started wailing what was
thought to be a death song.
About this time the groups Indian
interpreter came riding up and he said
this was Chief Nocona. He was sure of
it because Nocona had killed his fam-
ily and enslaved him until he escaped
from his Comanche Band.
The interpreter asked Ross if he
could finish the Indian Chief, Ross nod-
ded his permission. The Indians death
was eminent, anyway. He walked over

The death of Chief Nocona has two
very different stories, about what may
have really happened at the Pease Riv-
er Battle.
One account is by Captain Lawrence
Sui Ross, who believed that he wit-
nessed Chief Nocona's death in person.
The story goes on, toward the end
of the attack of the Comanche hunting
party camped at the confluence of the
Pease River and Mule Creek, Ross wit-
nessed the escape of two rider's horse-
back riding east along a creek bed. One
of the horsemen was riding double and
the other was riding single. Ross and
Lt. Killiheir pursued both, just before
Ross overtook the lone rider the rider
pulled the horse up to surrender. The
Indian was a women and she held up
a child high over her head. Leaving
this woman to be captured the Rang-
er's kept in pursuit of the second horse,
which was being ridden double.
Ross fired a shot from his pistol
and hit the rear rider, in falling off
the horse the rear rider a 15 year old
mexican girl also drug off the lead
