Sorry to post two threads, but I assume that most of you never go to the Panhandle Board. But I thought you might enjoy a site report for the Second Adobe Walls Battle site.

Four generations have lived in this house built in early 1870s by Crabapple community pioneer David Crockett Riley (1840-1900). Stone for 24 outer walls and 18 partitions came from a hill a mile north; timbers were hand-hewn from farm trees; milled lumber hauled from Austin (90 mi. SE). With a purchased lock for model, rest of door locks were made in farm shop. Workmen were paid 50 cents and a pint of Crockett Riley's whiskey (home-distilled) for a day's work. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1972
If the same guy, he would have not been fighting with the Union at Adobe Walls. Also not on the monument to the participants in Adobe Walls II.Quote:
