PREFACE. I am now in the seventy-fifth year of time from my birth. Have been an active citizen of Texas ever since 1837, and been a participant in many of the graphic as well as the sanguinary incidents related in the following pages. And I am impelled by a sense of justice and due regard to the memory and the appreciation of my comrades, friends and associates-tried, good and true of that time-"trying time"-to give to the public in my declining years a true, faithful and impartial account of things that to my own knowledge have so often been misrepresented. And I hereby give to the future historian of the early history of Texas for his guidance the facts contained in this narrative.
