Southwestern Historical Quarterly
The upper Colorado and its western tributaries, the Pedernales, the
Llano, the San Saba, and the Concho, or Blue River, afford an extensive
body of fine land.-There is not a region of Texas offering superior
facilities to the planter, the manufacturer, and the capitalist. The route to
El Paso runs through it. Thoroughfares from Middle, Eastern, and North-
ern Texas to California, must find a point of connection upon the waters
of the Colorado. The elevation increases gradually, though it is considera-
ble at the head of Blue River. Wood, water and grass are met with in
profusion. The hills bordering upon the vallies are covered with stone
suitable for the construction of any species of masonry. Game is plentiful:
buffalo, bear, panther, deer, turkies, &c., &c.
