Bluffton recollections amid a river dam rise
Jim Maxwell, 77, eldest son of Uncle The Maxwell, remembers Bluffton named two years ago after his Arkansas town. He declines relocation, citing 2% acres on the river and a pecan tree that once yielded 1,034 pounds. The planned 9,000 foot dam will create a 22 mile long lake, submerging old stagecoach stops and river trade routes from Fort Mason to Austin, with stories of stage robbers and Bluffton’s first settler Billy Davis arriving in 1852.
