I was talking to a fifth-generation Texan of German descent whose immigrant forebears settled around Kerrville nine years before the Civil War (all this, of course, as related by him). He said that following Texas secession a certain number Germans in that area declined to assume the Southern cause and determined to leave Texas and remove to Mexico. They were just south of Kerrville and upon the march when set upon by Southern sympathizers (not soldiers) and massacred, with the survivors being later executed.
I had never heard of this and wondered if it actually happened? I told the fellow I know of some people who will have the real poop, and that I'll let him know what did -- or didn't -- happen.
