Fort McKavett Fortified Stake Recalled in Texas History
Fort McKavett was abandoned as a government post in July 1883. The government sold the stone buildings and land at the headwaters of the San Saba River for 50 000 dollars to a New Yorker who died soon after and left a young heir to manage rents. The heir faced a hard start as he adapted to frontier life and ultimately lost Fort McKavett and all fixtures when he could not fill a flush.
