Scout Pursuit of Texas Frontier Indians Returns Fire on Red Frontier
In 1873 William Williams and his party track Indian raiders after their Brown County family tragedy. A long scouting column from Fort Concho and US troops pursues the band, finds a china tree grave site reported by Mr Converse, but fails to locate the child's burial. A sharp engagement ends with a brief clash near buffalo country and mounted pursuit.
