About This Book
"This is the account of the settlement of the area from the Red River to the cities of Sherman, Dallas, Waco, Brownwood, San Angelo, Abilene, and Wichita Falls, Texas. Although the inclusive dates of the study are 1846 to 1876, there is a brief account of 18th century Spanish and French activity. Most of the book is concerned with the difficulties of pioneer life—hunger and privation, and the ever-present Indian peril. The story is a familiar one in the old Southwest.Author Richardson of Hardin-Simmons University is an experienced writer on the Southwest and the Indian wars, and he was born and raised in the area he describes. The result is an attractive book, not only in content but in format…"—Duke University Historical Review.
