There are a couple of little known books, " Now You Hear My
Horn", by James Wilson Nichols and " Reminiscences of a Centenarian", a story aobut Amasa Clark that died in Bandera
at 101 years old. Both of these books talk about this event and I believe that both state that some of the men of the Second Tex. Cav. would not go along with what was happening and they left. Col. Duff had evidently had a run in with a man that was related to the leader of the Germans.

In the Kimble County History Book, there is an article that states, " A marker in the little Spring Creek cemetery near Harper tells the grim story , Sebird Henderson, Hiram Nelson, Gus Tegener, Frank Scott, 1862, hanged and thrown in Spring Creek by Col. James Duff's Confederate Regiment"

Tegener is the name of the leader of the Germans.
