Buffalo Range memories from 1873 frontier days
W F Dick Sullivan recalls West Texas early days, from orphaned boyhood in Mississippi to steering cattle along the Chisholm Trail, buffalo hunts near Camp Colorado, and service as a Ranger with Company C. He details Indian threats, a bear feast, and a reunion with old comrades in Menard, ending with years in San Saba County and the Brownwood area.
