  • Free Land Attracted Many Colonists to Texas in 1840S 3-29-92 “No Quitting Sense” We Claim Is Typically Texas
    “Between the Creeks” Gwen Pettit This is a compilation of weekly newspaper columns on local history written by Gwen Pettit during 1986-1992 for the Allen Leader and the Allen American in Allen, Texas. Most of these articles were initially written and published, then run again later with changes and additions made. I compiled these articles from the Allen American on microfilm at the Allen Public Library and from the Allen Leader newspapers provided by Mike Williams. Then, I typed them into the computer and indexed them in 2006-07. Lois Curtis and then Rick Mann, Managing Editor of the Allen American gave permission for them to be reprinted on April 30, 2007, [email protected]. Please, contact me to obtain a free copy on a CD. I have given a copy of this to the Allen Public Library, the Harrington Library in Plano, the McKinney Library, the Allen Independent School District and the Lovejoy School District. Tom Keener of the Allen Heritage Guild has better copies of all these photographs and is currently working on an Allen history book. Keener offices at the Allen Public Library. Gwen was a longtime Allen resident with an avid interest in this area’s history. Some of her sources were: Pioneering in North Texas by Capt. Roy and Helen Hall, The History of Collin County by Stambaugh & Stambaugh, The Brown Papers by George Pearis Brown, The Peters Colony of Texas by Seymour V. Conner, Collin County census & tax records and verbal history from local long-time residents of the county. She does not document all of her sources.

  • Matt Burts and the Alvord Gang
    THE SAN BERNADINO SUN TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1925 TWO GUNMEN CLASH IN DESERT FEWD, BOTH DEAD AFTER “SHOOT OUT” The Mysterious Shooting of Matt Burts – 1925 By Harold L. Edwards In 1897, Matt Burts rode into Cochise County, Arizona from New Mexico and secured work on cattle ranches in Sulphur Springs Valley, where he quickly earned a reputation as a tough but competent cowhand. He also became acquainted with Burt Alvord and Billy Stiles, the Constable of Willcox (AZ) and his Deputy. His friendship with Constable Alvord and his Deputy involved Burts in a train robbery that resulted in his serving a term in Yuma prison. After his release from the penitentiary Burts followed a path of violence and confrontational behavior that culminated in his death some three decades later when he was killed during a mysterious gunfight in California. There was nothing in Burts beginnings to portend his trouble future and violent end. He was born in Hamilton County, Texas in 1870 to Henry and Elizabeth Burts. He was the fifth born child in the family, preceded by James, Nancy, Thomas, and George. His parents were of southern stock: his father born in Louisiana, and his mother in Arkansas. At the time of Matt’s arrival, his father was a cattle raiser. It is not known when or why the family migrated into New Mexico, where Matt learned the ways of the cattle ranges and became an excellent cowboy. He also learned to use intoxicating liquors liberally, and he became proficient in the use of firearms. His activities beyond working as a cowboy in New Mexico or Arizona is not clear.
