The Comanches Wanted Her Red Hair: Alice Todd's Family Attacked By Indians in Mason County, TX, 1864

In this episode we read from the Spring 1961 issue of True West magazine, in an article written by William C.X. Hancock and illustrated by B.J. McCausey. This story is about Alice Todd, who went to school in San Saba, TX, and lived near Fort Mason where Robert E. Lee was stationed. When the federal troops left, Buffalo Hump's Comanches began a reign of terror on the settlers who remained on the western edge of Texas civilization.
