Hood's Frontier Fight in Texas Marked by Bold Pursuit
In 1857 Lieutenant Hood led twenty five men of the Second Cavalry on a frontier scout from Fort Mason toward the Llano and Devil's River in pursuit of hostile Indians. After days of thirst and hardship they engaged a combined Comanche Lipan force near Devil's River, Hood wounded by an arrow but rallying his men to rout the attackers. The fight, amid a burning brush barricade, ended with Indian casualties and Hood's party burying the dead and seeking Fort Clark for aid.
