Peering at the Past – A Great Meal and a Muzzleloader - Fillmore County Journal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Captain Samuel Bates McIntire (Cap’n Mac), who came to what would become Houston County in 1852 at the age of 14, prefaced each published portion of his 1901 historical memoir with a poem. On the same day that Mrs. McIntire and two children had arrived in Brownsville, where they were met by Mr. McIntire, the family departed for the Yucatan Valley, which was about 20 miles away “in a bee line,” but by the most traveled road, was nearly a 30-mile trek.
