Broken Leg Could Not Stop Harold Hartfield From Working
Harold Hartfield of Belton, Texas, worked all day on a broken leg after stepping into a chin-deep excavation. He returned to work the next day at the post office and later went to a hospital where doctors cast his leg. East Texas grocer Arthur West cites Daniel Crockett speeches about Indians and notes Crockett’s opposition to removal and stand at the Alamo.
