[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1493133, member: 5381"] There is some interesting history in this area. This battle was about a mile from a tract I owned outside of Dawson. [url=http://www.historynet.com/battle-creek-texas-where-surveyors-fought-like-soldiers.htm]http://www.historynet.com/battle-creek- ... ldiers.htm[/url] They also had a plane crash. [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braniff_Flight_352]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braniff_Flight_352[/url] I know a man that was the first on the scene as it crashed across from his house. Back then they didn't recover much of the fuselage, they just dug a hole and buried it. The mound of dirt is still visible and a few of the plane parts continue to work their way to the surface. By chance I stopped to talk to the man one day and a guy drove up that had a relative that died in the crash and wanted to see the site. It was chilling to hear the first hand report as he described the scene. A lot of the old folks in this town believe there was something besides pilot error involved. It does seem suspicious as the plane practically blew up in mid air. Tehuacana is a nice area where I have looked around for farm land. [/QUOTE]
