Love and frontier clashes in early Texas tales
An old Texas anecdote from J. W. Wilbarger's Indian Depredations in Texas recounts a young Brath County schoolmaster Saunders who falls for a settler’s daughter. Pursued by twenty mounted Indians, the chase ends when Saunders trips, wields a black sumach root like a shooter, and escapes into timber, leaving the pursuers frustrated. The tale closes with the notion that love triumphed through frontier courage and chivalry.
