Red River Quotes

Challenges Faced on the Trail to Brazos

Early Tales of Texas (Journal): Thirty days on the trail and they reached the Brazos. The way now became harder. Hills and rocks impeded their progress. Each weary mile became endless. The men became morose and worried. The cattle restless and jumpy.

Struggles of Hardship on the Trail

Early Tales of Texas (Journal): The days became longer, sleep was at a premium, hard work became harder and Dunson became a tyrant. After three weeks, they reached San Sabo. Here at last was water and a place to rest tired muscles and sore aching bones.
