Early Settlers and Indian Fighters of Southwest Texas by A.J. Sowell
Requirements: .MOBI reader, 1.2 MB
Overview: Life as an early settler in Texas was tough.
Cattle rustlers stole people’s livelihoods, Native Americans fought back to reclaim their lands, and gunslingers walked the streets of the frontier towns.
A. J. Sowell refused to let the memory of the early pioneers who settled on the southwest frontier die.
As he states in his preface, “They bore the heat and burden of the day, and their deeds should live like monuments in the hearts of their countrymen.”
Sowell’s book was written just at the point that camping grounds and tumbleweed towns were transforming into prosperous cities and provides insight into a world that has long vanished.
Material for the book was drawn from interviews with men and women, such as “Big Foot” Wallace, Sarah J. Kinchaloe, and Henry Castro, who had lived on the frontier and experienced life in this wild region.
