Do you have a map? I'd love to look at the various spots mentioned, especially Hays City, since I'm a Hays County girl.

I don't have a readymade map. I suppose the locations might show up on Google Maps, but I don't know. If you do search for the locations there and find them, let me know so I can pass that on to other readers who might be interested.

I found this map to be a lot of fun. Since I already know where current locations are, it was fun to see what had been there before. I think I located where Hay City was, but I'm not sure. I intend to continue chasing that wild goose.

Cool map. The Portal to Texas History is a great resource.

Thank you. So do I. They certainly seemed to be cut from a tougher cloth back in the day.

Thank you so much, Jim. She was a fun subject to write about. And I left more on the cutting room floor than made it print.
