Burnet County Pioneers

Account of E. E. Brooks, and his wife pion­eers of Burnet county, TX. He was born in a log cabin in Arkansas and came with his parents who settled in Burnet county where the town of Burnet now stands. It was then called Fort Crogan and was on the extreme bor­der of civilization. Here they decided to stop, and carve a home out of the, then, wilderness of Texas. Brooks relates many thrilling experiences with Indians when it took men and women of courage to remain in their frontier homes and withstand the hardships of early days in that section. Be­fore coming to Burnet, Brook's parents camp­ed for a time near where Georgetown now stands, until they could decide upon a per­manent location It was there they had their first experience with Indians.

One day Mrs. Brooks with her three chil­dren, was left alone while her husband and some other men were off splitting out boards to build more room to the house (people in those days grew careless from the very familiarity of danger), and she walked to the door which was on the north side of the house overlooking the valley and saw a party of men on horseback, rapidly ap­proaching. She thought at first they were cow hunters, but felt some uneasiness and soon took another look, when to her horror she discovered that they were Indians. She ran to her children and cried out in agony of her soul: "Indians!" By this time the Indians had dashed up and dismounted, fill­ing the house and yard, there being about 40 In number. She had no hope to escape and could only await her fate. The eldest boy and girl crawled behind a large chest...

One of the Indians who seemed to be the leader said to: Mrs. Brooks in English: "We want bread", and although she thought she read her doom in their hideously painted faces and blood-thirsty looks, the heroic woman never lost her presence of mind. She implored the Indians who had addressed her in English to spare her children. The In­dian who had spoken English came over and sat down on the other side of her with her baby in her arms. Then another one came and sat down on the other side of her and one in front. With their spears and tomahawks and war paint they presented a fearful sight. The one in front of her reached for her baby. (The baby is now Mrs. J. K. Daugherty of Marble Falls.' The mother pressed the baby to her bosom. They took hold of the child and tried to tear it from her, but with a mother's desperate ef­fort to save her child, she clung to it, plead­ing for its life until she thought they would surely pull its little body in two. She let go and folded her arms in despair…

Further mentions: Elihu Casner, who lived 6 miles from the Brooks farm , Wofford Johnson and family , Mr. Casner , Mrs. Johnson. threw her baby into a clump of bushes where it was found alive the following morning, being the only mem­ber of the family that escaped.


PIONEER RECALLS INDIAN DAYS

E. A (Pat) Paffrath, of Fort Worth, a veteran pioneer plainsman offers a narrative of Indian and buffalo hunting in the 1870’s

"When I went to the Panhandle in 1876," he said, "I drove a herd of cattle belonging to Smith & Adams from South Texas to Fort Belknap and after delivering them decided to go to the buffalo ranges and hunt. Buffalo were being killed in large numbers and there was good profit in the hides. "I recall the incident of the rescue of the white woman, Cynthia Ann Parker, from the Indians," continued the old plainsman. "She was carried off by the Comanches when about 12 years old, and afterward, as the wife of Quanah Parker, the latter-day chief of the Comanches. She was a grown woman when rescued by Governor Sul Ross, who was then a Texas Ranger. Governor Ross and his followers had a fight with the Indians at a point between Quanah and Crowell, and found Cynthia Ann and her young daughter in the party. The chief, who was the father of Quanah Parker, was killed during the battle and the white woman was taken back to the settlement.

"The last Indian killed in Southwest Texas", continued the old plainsman, reminiscently, "was a Kiowa who was shot by Captain Arrington's rangers west of Quanah - in 1879, and his death brought about a raid by the Kiowas into that section in the way of reprisal. The last white man killed was named Earl and he was slain east of Quanah by the band of Kiowas which came down from the reservation to avenge the death of one of their number killed a thort time before in the same locality by the rangers. Earl had just arrived in the country and I met him and talked to him at the headquarters of the R2 ranch the night he was killed. He was traveling with Fred and Joe Estes and knew little about the habits of Indians. I warned the little pasty not to leave the ranch that night, as I had been informed that about thirty-five Kiowas was out on a raiding expedition bent on vengeance and that traveling might be dangerous. They did not listen to me, however, but continued their journey toward Quanah, and Earl lost his life.'

Mrs. L. N. Throop

Account of Old Washington and the historic house built in the early days in 1834. House is described by Mrs. Isabella Buffington Herbert of Anderson, who was born in the first and original house built there for the use of the Re­public of Texas in its earliest days. Mrs. Isabella Buffington Herbert was born, in 1837, at which time her father the Rev. Anderson Buffington, one of the earliest Baptist pioneer ministers of the Republic of Texas, was living in the original house where the archives of the Republic were kept for a period of time for fear of their being captured by the invading foe.

A School Teacher’s Diary

This account records very interesting excerpts from a diary of the early In­dian days at Fort Davis, (or Fort Hub­bard Settlement), located up the Clear Fork river from Elias­ville about 20 miles in Stephens county, just across the line from Shackleford. It was kept by Sam Newcomb, who taught school in Fort Davis during 1865 and a part of 1866. The diary vividly reflects the conditions of the country, the isolation of the people and their means of doing things in these pioneer days.

January 1, 1865- For the past year Indians have been troublesome, coming into the section in such large bodies that a great many families have left the frontier and moved into older settled counties, and those who remain are "forted up." There are now 125 per­sons in the fort and others are preparing to move in.

January 23- This day was made mem­orable by the marriage of J.. H. Brown­ing and Miss Angelina McCarty. It was a grand occasion, being attended by a number of people from the lower, fort, and all the visitors coming prepared to fight the Indians along the way, if nec­essary.

March 13- Commenced school here today for a term of fourteen: weeks. I have only nineteen scholars at present and mast of them are rude, wild and wholly unacquainted with school disci­pline.

December 24- The first sermon ever preached in Fort Davis was preached here today by Parson Slaughter, and it was, the first sermon many of our people ever heard.


The Battle Of The Medina

Written, by John Warren Hunter (Continuing the narrative of Mr. Beltran)

The battle of Medina was fought on August 18, 1813, between the republican forces of the Gutiérrez-Magee expedition under Gen. Dubois and an army loyal to Spain under Gen. Arredondo. This battle which took place twenty miles south of San Antonio was the bloodiest ever fought on Texas soil. The noble efforts for the cause of Texas independence were entirely frustrated and a vicious slaughter of the republican army was the result. This lengthy, detailed, and thrilling account is from right off the battlefield through the eyes of brave Mr. Beltran who himself was wounded in the battle and records for us this heart-rending account of a terrible tactical mistake and of dashed hopes. The account continues through to the season when Mili­tary Plaza in glorious San Antonio de Bexar was bathed in blood and the butchery of heroes was a daily occurrence.

An Excerpt: And thus, with demoniac fury, the bat­tle raged, and these Americans fought until there were few left. to, tell the tale. Exposed to a withering fire on all sides, they maintained the unequal struggle. There were not fifty bayonets in Toledo's army, but charge followed charge on the part of these Anglo-Saxon heroes, who, with only their long knives and clubbed guns, essayed to cut their way through, only to meet the gleaming Spanish bay­onets and repulse. The battleground became a veritable inferno. The loose, sandy soil had been reduced to an impalp­able powder; the cloud of dust and the smoke of burned powder formed a dense mantle made lurid by the glare of flam­ing guns. But there was no wavering. In all that American host there was not a coward. They were the sons of Revolu­tionary sires; they were the bravest of the brave, and with them it was not hard to die. No quarter, was asked, none given, and the prisoners mentioned by Arredondo in his report were our unfor­tunate wounded. Finally, when nearly all had fallen, and when there was no longer a cartridge left to the bleeding staggering survivors, Kemper, covered with wounds, shouted: "Boys, save yourselves ! " The battle was ended, and the sleuth-hounds of blood were un­leashed and sent in swift pursuit.


The Life Of John Wesley Hardin (Continued from last month)

Hardin was perhaps the most bloody man in Texas history, having slain at least 30 men before he himself was shot down in El Paso on August 19, 1895. His life was tragic in that he made numerous efforts to live life as a peaceful man, but always ended up shedding more blood. While imprisoned he even studied law and returned to El Paso to engage in a legal practice. His ambitions once again fell to the power of his incredible abilities with a six-shooter and he returned to a life of bloodshed and lawlessness. Many believe he was miligned and was not in fact, a bad man. You be the judge. This multi-part story can be had from us in all of it’s parts – just ask

Frontier Justice Served Over A Bar

This remarkable frontiersman was a native of Kentucky. When sixteen years old he went alone to Santa Fe, N. M. Two years later found him fighting with the American troops in. the war against Mexico. Following that war he went to the little community at San Gabriel's, Mission, in Southern California, where he ran a saloon and dancehall for a few years. He next went into the business of hauling merchandise between San An­tonio, Texas, and Chihuahua, Mexico, had many encounters with Indians and bad men. When the Southern Pacific built its transcontinental line through the upper border of Texas, Bean ran a movable saloon at a number of points at the "end of the line," finally, opening a permanent establishment at Vinagaroon (later called Langtry). He was appointed justice of the peace at the instance of the higher officials of the Southern Pacific, who wanted some one they could depend upon to rid that part of the border of bad characters. Al­though Bean's term of office was two years, he held the job for twenty years without ever being re-elected.


His court “rulings” are legendary and quite amazing. This story details a number of those dubious attempts at “justice” in Langtry.

Early Days In San Antonio Recalled

This story of the early days was told by Mrs. Emily Brackett King five years before her death. Mrs. King wrote these memories of her journey to Texas and her life in San Antonio in the form of a letter to her great grandchildren, Emily and Danforth White of Los Angeles, California. Mrs. King came to Texas as a little girl in 1846, one year after Texas became a state, and though all the most bloody days of Texas history were then in the past, life in San Antonio was still that of the frontier. She was eighty-two years old when she wrote the sketch which follows.

Glad to get networked with you Jim. I have really had a lot of success  with my research thanks to Frontier Times and yourself of course. Mr.  Hunter was a God send in helping record enough information to help  future generations track our history. When our families arrived here in  Texas they were ahead of government, counties, etc. so it is a great  task to piece together details. Thanks and have a Merry Christmas  brother!
