		<description><![CDATA[Thank you for visiting my genealogy site for the book, Trek to Texas: 1770 – 1870. Yes, this is an actual book, though the number of copies are scarce, which is one thing that prompted the idea for putting it onto the Internet. To the best of my knowledge, one copy went to each “branch” [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As with many a book, my copy of Trek to Texas has a few things tucked lovingly inside the pages. Some I put there myself, including the clipping from my Grandmother&#8217;s obituary and the flower I kept from her funeral. At some point over the years, someone included a torn and tattered, yellowed slip of [...]]]></description>

I watched them grow, these Sons of mine,
From baby boys to men,
Their milk-white skin burn raw and red,
Then turn to deep dark tan.
I taught them how to play, to work,
To make of life a game,
We were so happy them and I,
Until the great war came.
The call to war was clear and loud;
