Thanksgiving on the Plains Estacado Quaker colony saga
The Estacado settlement near the Lubbock Crosby line began as a Quaker colony in 1879 with about 100 people after 1880 crops. Cox bought land at 25 cents an acre and built a sod house while Hank Smith and Charley Hawse dug a well and broke 20 acres for rice and corn. The first winter was harsh and two Quaker families left for Indiana. By 1880-81 the colony prospered with fat stock watering, antelopes, wild hogs, wild turkeys, and cottonwood roosts. The first Thanksgiving came in the second winter, with a church built and a Christmas celebration in shirt sleeves and watermelon in the sun.
