Description
Excerpt from The Western Avernus: Or Toil and Travel in Further North America
And it was thus I came to Texas, the land of revolution and rude romance, and pistol arbitration, whither my brother had long preceded me - a land of horses, cattle, and sheep, of cotton and corn, a land of refuge for many crimes, and for those tired and weary even as I was. So outward civilisation was gone, and it was with strange feelings of delight that I came into a new country to commence a new career, although I knew that there would inevitably be much labour and perhaps much suffering for me.
