 Adventures On The Old Cattle Trail

Veteran trail boss A. Collatt Sanders describes a cattle drive made in 1884, which, as he says "was the hardest one I ever made."

Negro Brought Master’s Body Home

There were few adventures of the old cattle trailing days that were like that of the old negro, George Glenn who was 21 and iron-sinewed when he mounted a chuck wagon and started up the trail with Bob Johnson of Columbus. At Red River a new bunch of cowhands were substituted and the Texas hands returned home. Johnson and his negro cook went on to Abilene. There, after the long-horned steers were sold, Johnson died, alone with the negro. Glenn placed his master's body in a metallic coffin, and that in turn, in his chuck wagon, and then started the long, lonesome trek across three states, back to Columbus. Forty-two days and nights through Indian lands, with the mournful howls of coyotes to make his nights more hideous, Glenn traveled with the body of his friend and master. Back in Columbus his hands guided the reins of the horses that bore Johnson's body to the cemetery.

Lige Bevins And Gang Exterminated

G. A. Beeman, of Comanche, Texas

Details the final assault upon the lawless element comprised of Bevins and deserters in Bell county, in 1863. The Bevins neighborhood was on Stampede Creek, and was noted for its outlawry during the reconstruction period. When Texas was under military government, which was distasteful, inefficient, and largely a matter of favoritism, men of the above neighborhood were stealing horses and committing other depredations, and when arrested and turned over to Federal authorities at Waco, they had only to claim they were Union men during the war and were being persecuted for that fact. On this plea they were turned loose and came back for further outlawry.

Further Mentions: Company K of the First Texas Cavalry; Swan Bigham; Bob Kuykendall; Colonel Buchell; Captain Garen; Miles and Jim. Bishop; Frank Van deer Stucken

Life And Adventures Of Ben Thompson

W. M. Walton, of Austin, Texas. Who was this enigmatic, but notorious character? This is the first installment in the six-part series of the history of the man written by Mr. Walton. Thompson is a figure who seems to defy description. On the one hand, he was notorious and ruthless, while on the other, it could be said of him in the words of the writer of this account:

The fame of Ben Thompson has spread from the center to the extreme borders of this country, over its mountains and valleys, though the mines of Mexico, the placers of California, the mineral fields of Colorado, the great emporium of commerce, on the ocean's deeps, and the far interior, and his fame has been that of a brave, fearless man, retiring an charitable as a woman when not aroused by the perpetration of wrong and injustice on himself or others unable to cope with assailants; but dangerous, deadly and quick as a bolt of lightning when the supreme moment of necessity, safety and action came. His eye is soft and laughing, playful amid active when his indignation is not on fire; but glittering, piercing and steady as the eagle's while gazing at and flying towards the sun, on the approach of an enemy bent on mischief, or when his ear is hurt by the groans of distress drawn forth by the rough hand of the oppressor, or the trembling wall of the weak when trodden on by the strong.

You decide for yourself: but this article is a great place to start. We can supply you with the other installments as well. Just inquire.

King Fisher, A Noted Character

Judge W. A. Bonnet, Eagle Pass, Texas

A superb account, not only of this true pioneer character, but of the town of Eagle Pass as well. Good historical data here.

An excerpt: When I came to Eagle Pass as a boy in 1878, King Fisher was very well known around here, for not standing any foolishness. Some called him a desperado, but I do not think him as bad as some pictured him. He at one time lived on the Nueces River, at a place known as King Fisher's Crossing. But at the time I first knew him he lived on a ranch in Dimwit and Zavala counties. Where you turned off the main road to go to his ranch he put up a sign, "This is King Fisher's road, take the other." Some people thought it a funny sign, but I could never see anything wrong with it...

I once asked King Fisher how many men he had killed, and he said, "Seven." I said I thought it was more than that. He said, "Oh I don't count Mexicans." One day some of King Fisher's men came to town, and celebrated, as was the custom then, by shooting around town some. Judge Stone fined them, and they became angered, as they were only showing that they were happy and having a good time, according to the style and custom of the day. So they went back and shot into Judge Stone's house. Later while they were riding around a brush fence and through a mesquite thicket (now the center of business of Main Street in Eagle Pass) some Mexican friends of the Judge shot and killed two, wounding the third. The two were buried on the spot, and the third was taken to a house two blocks away where he died later. It was the skeletons of these two that were found a few years ago when they were excavating for the Aztec theater, and caused some excitement, until some old timer remembered the killing.

The Founding Of Bandera

AN EXCERPT:

In the early spring of 1853 A. M. Milstead, Thos. Odem, and P. D. Saner, with their families, came to Bandera county and camped on the Medina river, where they engaged in making cypress shingles. They lived in tents for awhile, or until rude cabins could be provided. P. D. Saner and family came from Tennessee. Along about this time Mrs. Rees and her sons, Sidney, Adolphus and. Alonzo, and a daughter who afterward married Judge. Starkey, arrived in this county and located homes. The Witt family came here about the same time. Messrs. Milstead, Odem and Saner purchased the Hendrick Arnold Survey, consisting of half a league of land running from Bandera Creek to the Medina River. Mr. Saner built a house on the river, just above the site of Bandera's present school building, and lived there with his family. Other people began to come in, and a settlement was soon formed. In the fall of that same year, Chas. de Montel established a horse-power sawmill here, which afforded employment for a number of men. A commissary store was put in, two or three cabins. were erected, and the settlement became a village which was, from the start, called Bandera. Associated with Mr. de Montel was John James, a surveyor, and the firm, which became known as James, Montel & Co., platted the townsite of Bandera. Previous to the location of the town, and when the three original families were still living in tents on the banks of the Medina, came Amasa Clark, who is still with us, and now over 100 years old.
