A historical account details Homer Rogers and Ole Shelton operating cedar yards along the Nueces and Colorado rivers, their failed post rafts, and later efforts, plus noted figures like King of Austin and the Barnes Brothers. It traces the cedar cutter culture through floods, rails, and the onset of New Deal programs shaping Texas Hill Country.
