"Heredity is an omnibus in which all our ancestors ride, and every now and then one of them puts his head out and embarrasses us." - Oliver Wendell Holmes
The pioneers who migrated to Texas in 1846 for free land were led by HARDIN'S grandfather, Dr. William Dixson. Included among several siblings in his family was a daughter, Elizabeth, who was to become the mother of JOHN WESLEY HARDIN. But the new Texas home wasn't the utopian paradise they expected. It was a lawless frontier and life was difficult at best.
There were land disputes - intimidations - feuds--murder--vigilantes--CIVIL WAR--Union occupations--lynchings--TEXAS RANGERS.
Little known stories of 50 years of joys and hardships.
