Exellent, superb video my friend😃👊👍
This ismy home territory! I live near here. I had once heard of a ghost story associated with the fort, but one nothing about its location. You keep teaching me more about my home state. TY
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing. I would have been afraid that there would be rattlesnakes in that cave.
Good video
An outpost of that distance must have been a journey of months on foot, horse and wagon, quite a project and new piece of information to add to Texas History as I sit here and wonder how many people it took to man it and if families lived at that compound as well.
First time for me hearing about it too, thank you as usual for preparing it and posting it..
