Tips for Searching

Here are some tips for finding articles. 

Labels

All articles are indexed via labels; those labels are visible over on the right hand side of the blog. Click on a label and you'll get one or more posts in reverse chronological order from the date of their writing.

Search

There's also a search box (Search This Blog) in the upper right hand corner. Simply type in a keyword and you'll see articles that match. You can then sort by relevance, or sort by date (reverse chronological order from the date of their writing).

Examples from this blog in alphabetical order just to give you an idea: African American, camino (as in Camino Real), cave, cemetery, Chisholm Trail, church, Civil War, Colorado River, Comanche, Davis, ford (as in river), fort, German, Hornsby, Indians, Bonnell (as in Mount), marker (as in historical), Native American, railroad, Reconstruction, republic (as in Texas), revolution (as in Texas), road, school, Secession, Smithwick, spring, trail, Wilbarger.
