Indian Attack and Missing Family in Old Bosque County
The report details a dramatic search in Bosque County for Ole Canuteson and his wife and 10 year old son, after the home near Clifton was ransacked and the family abducted by Indians. A posse traced a trail north toward the Paluxi River, spanning about 25 miles, as locals and neighbors formed a volunteer search, recovered some property damage, and prepared for further pursuit. A separate note honors Dr. Steiner’s rescue by Judge Ames H. Dyer and civil authorities from a prior Port Graham incident.
