Congress Reports Favorably on Texas Indian Fighter Pensions
Congress committee on pensions voted favorably this week to grant a small pension to Richard M. Coline Collins of Round Mountain Texas, who served in Captain John G. Caughfield's company during Indian raids. If enacted the bill could open pensions to other Texas frontier fighters with poor or destroyed records, aided by advocates Kleberg Lanham and others. The hearing highlighted frontier conditions in Hill Country fifty years ago and noted many veterans still alive in western Texas.
