This is an account I found from papers compiled in the 1880s telling stories of the settlements in Collin County and the last known encounters with Indians in 1844. It’s quite long, and has vivid detail. I wish we still wrote and spoke the way they did back then! It’s worth the read for anyone interested in the history.
Many of the men mentioned in this article have roads or communities named after them in the area to this day.
