Evelyn Rard,
.
Thank you for posting part the Lizzie Gibson's 1837 WPA interview. ..When tears welled in my eyes, I realized that this is a keeper, so I printed it and taped onto the top of my computer.
.
Do you have the skinny on this 1937 interview? ..I must read her whole interview.
.
As you probably know, the Texas Legislature mandated that Bourland's men patrol the south side of Red River to prevent Indian Territory residents from crossing Red River. ..This is a major theme of my book.
.
Nightmare material. "... The soldiers from the North built barracks with the Negro soldiers on the bank of the creek. ..After the battle was over, those who had not been in battle were killed by the soldiers and pushed in the Creek. ..There were so many that the water was red with blood. ..." ..An unforgetable quote.
