In 1898, a slim bound volume appeared in Texas bookshops under the mysterious pen name “Brazos.” Titled The Life of Robert Hall, it told a tale that seemed too grand for one man’s years — of Comanche raids and Texas Rangers, of frontier justice, love, and war.
I first encountered this book while tracing my own family roots, not yet realizing how deeply my lineage was entangled with its pages. As I delved deeper into historical records and library archives, I discovered that Robert Hall wasn’t just another Texas pioneer — he was my 4th-great-grandfather.
The more I researched, the more I uncovered a web of connections linking my ancestors to the architects of Texas history.
This blog is my personal research into my family, events that shaped our past, and other interesting information I find along the way.
