Frontier Battles in Texas By Captain A J Lowell
Describes a 1837 Texan frontier clash where Lieutenants Van Benthuysen and Miles led 16 rangers against Keechi Indians near the Trinity. After burning prairies, rangers fought through smoke to timber, with eight survivors and ten wounded. The piece traces later exploits and regional names linked to early Texas history.
