I'm not certain if other family researchers have known about this resource, but it was new to me. It's a history of Bosque County (Texas) published in 1986. I found histories of various branches of our extended family (e.g., Ickerts, Bernhardts, & Krugers) as well as information on various communities where branches of the family lived. (I want to take a closer look at this resource.)
I also noted that the Chisolm Trail (a major path for Texas cattle drives) passed through Valley Mills and Morgan. I never knew this.
I know the recent executive director of the Chisolm Trail Museum in Duncan, OK. I'll see if he has any additional interesting information about the segment running through Bosque County.
