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.

    308 Lewis Thompson During the Fall of 1859, Lewis Thompson, Who Lived

    308 Lewis Thompson During the fall of 1859, Lewis Thompson, who lived at the Patterson and Leaky Mills, where the town of Leaky now stands, started to Uvalde with a load of new lumber, made of the beautiful cypress timber of that section. He was driving two yoke of oxen. When Thompson reached a point of about six miles south of Rio Frio, he stopped to gather pecans. The Indians slipped up and shot him. When found, Mr. Thompson’s body was pinned to the ground with an arrow. J.C. Ware and about nine others, who followed the Indian’s trail, soon found where the savages had butchered one of Mr. Thompson’s oxen. A short skirmish followed, when the Indians were encountered; and the whites recovered thirty-two head of stolen horses. Note: The author personally interviewed: J. C. Ware, who followed the Indians; E. L. Downes, who lived in that section of the country at the time; and others. Further Ref.: Vital Statistics of the U. S. Census Records of 1860. Further Ref.: Hunter’s Magazine, September 1916. 309 Mary and John Richardson During 1859, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Richardson and their five children lived in Lankford Cove, about one and one-half miles west of the present town of Evant. Mr. Richardson had gone to the mill at Belton. Mrs. Richardson and her children remained at home. Late in the afternoon, Mary, age twelve, and John, aged eight, attempted to drive home the cows. They had stopped to eat grapes, about three hundred yards from the house when Mary saw Indians coming.

The New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources has put together this packet of material (we call it our “Rockhound Guide”) that we hope will be useful to you. This information is designed to direct people to localities where they may collect specimens and also to give them some brief information about the area. These sites have been chosen because they may be reached by passenger car. We hope the information included here will lead to many enjoyable hours of collecting minerals in the “Land of Enchantment.” Enjoy your excursion, but please follow these basic rules: Take only what you need for your own collection, leave what you can’t use. Keep New Mexico beautiful. If you pack it in, pack it out. Respect the rights of landowners and lessees. Make sure you have permission to collect on private land, including mines. Be extremely careful around old mines, especially mine shafts. Respect the desert climate. Carry plenty of water for yourself and your vehicle. Be aware of flash-flooding hazards. The New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources has a whole series of publications to assist in the exploration for mineral resources in New Mexico. These publications are reasonably priced at about the cost of printing. New Mexico State Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources Bulletin 87, “Mineral and Water Resources of New Mexico,” describes the important mineral deposits of all types, as presently known in the state.

ABSTRACT Ecoregions denote areas of general similarity in ecosystems and in the type, quality, and quantity of environmental resources. Ecoregion frameworks are valuable tools for environmental research, assessment, management, and monitoring of ecosystems and ecosystem components. They have been used for setting resource management goals, developing biological criteria and establishing water quality standards. In a cooperative project with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and other interested state and federal agencies, we have defined ecological regions of Texas at two hierarchical levels that are consistent and compatible with the U.S.
