Texas Ranger Captain Coldwell led 1876 scout drive
Neal Coldwell commanded a 1876 Texas Ranger company with the same scouting range as before. During a ten day pursuit of Indians near Paint Creek they faced drought and thirst, shared water, and recovered 18 horses and 36 raiders in a dangerous river valley. Captain Coldwell later led Company A in 1877–78 roundups against desperados around Nueces and Llano, imprisoning 40 men in Junction City bull pen.
