Comanche Raid of 1840 Described by Pioneer Writer
A nineteen year old eyewitness recounts the 1840 Comanche raid from Victoria Linnville to Plum Creek. He details the siege near Linnville Victoria and Plum Creek battle, the cavalry actions led by Caldwell Huston and McCulloch, and the heavy losses among both sides. The narrative cites leaders, villages, captured horses and plunder, and the subsequent rebuke of false claims about commander roles.
