Sobre este artículo
[Washington, D.C.] House of Representatives Doc. 27. 35th Congress, 2d Session. 1859. 77pp. First edition. Removed; very good.
An important report detailing native Americans conflicts on the Texas frontier and the activities of the Texas Rangers during the 1850s. Events are documented with testimonies such as: "several citizens and one negro have been murdered, a boy has been taken into captivity and a large amount of property stolen."; in the "eastern portion of Comanche county... a band of Indians were in said county collecting all the most valuable horses, property of the county, destroying every kind of stock, murdering and capturing our citizens" ; "The second chief had rushed into the conflict with the friendly Indians. A shot from the Shawnee captain, Chul-le-qua, closed his career. The Comanches, between the camp and the river, were all killed or driven from the field, and our red allies sent up a wild shout of triumph. By direction of Captain Ross a portion of them held the camp of the enemy." Other content concerns Comanche raids in Palo Pinto; Kickapoo Indians stealing property by San Antonio; and The Wichita Expedition.
