The Comanches, Apaches, Shawnees, Wacos, Lipans, and separated tribes of Cherokees, Delawares, and Choctaws, some driven from the United States by the pioneers there, overran the northern and central portions of Texas, and those on the frontier, like Mr. Amos Radbury, were never safe from molestation.
The Kickapoo lodges are made in an oval form, something like a rounded hay-stack, of poles set in the ground, bent over, and united at top; this is covered with cloths or bark. The Witchetaws, Wacos, Towackanies, and Tonkowas erect their hunting lodges of sticks put up in the form of the frustum of a cone and covered with brush.
They said that over one hundred and fifty angry Indians Tawakonis, Wacos and Caddos were on the same trail, to kill every Texan that they found. No stranger should be permitted in the San Saba country. "But if you will turn back," added the Comanche chief, "I and my men will go with you and we all will fight them, together." "No," Jim Bowie replied.
