“A land title, Mr. Reynolds
said, was an informal thing in
those days. Fort Worth was a
village, Jack County was the
nearest court of jurisdiction,
white settlements consisted of
a chain of Army posts, buffalo
in uncounted thousands roamed
the range. As for Indians,
“they were so thick that we
gave ourselves twisted necks
from our habit of looking for
them when in the saddle.’
“ ‘I like to think of the coun-
try in the days just before the
Civil War.’ Mr. Reynolds went
on. “It was all prairie; the
mesquite which now covers the
range was sparse and low—the
Indians burned it off every
spring. Fort Bellnap, near
Graham; Camp Cooper, on the
edge of our Shackelford County
ranch, and later, Fort Griffin,
were the only settlements. The
buffalo spent the winter in the
country and in vast movements
migrated north in the Spring.
They seemed to move by in-
stinct, and they went together.
On one occasion we started up
a small bunch. They moved
northward. Soon thousands of
them had joined the movement.
It became a migration, with at
least 20,000 passing over the
present site of Stamford.

the hides at Weatherford forj

to me that the time would come
when the buffalo would be swept
from the range. Game of ev-!

“Mr. Reynolds described the
Indian tight in which his broth-'
er, George, was shot and carried
an arrow head in his body for
sixteen years.
“ ‘It took place on Tonk Greek
in the Double Mountain fork of
the Brazos,’ he said. ‘It was, I
think, in the month of Februa-|
