Clear Fork of the Brazos |
| "We made the crossing and started up a
rugged canyon on the other side, Paint Canyon, deriving its name from Paint
Creek which flows into the Clear Fork a short distance below its mouth. When
about half way up the canyon, our wagon broke down and we had to send back to
Father's for another wagon; the boy went with our belongings. He was gone quite
a long time, and it was almost noon when the load was transferred from the
broken wagon to the other, so we ate a lunch we had brought, then started on
our way again. The road, which led over the steep hills and canyons of the
breaks of the Clear Fork, was rough and hard to travel".

| "Such herds of cattle had to be
watched by night as well as day. Usually they would lie quietly all night
unless disturbed, but sometimes a very slight, unusual noise would startle
them, and then there was danger of a stampede, which is something to be
dreaded. When a stampede once started, the cattle were beyond control. They
would run at breakneck speed, and woe to anything in their
way".
