Apology accepted <g>
It would interesting to investigate the heredity of those early cowboys. The
towns in the Hill Country were settled by Germans, drawn by a land
speculator who had a speculative investment of 300,000 acres of worthless,
Indian-infested land he sold to the homefolk as a Paradise. He bought it
sight unseen. Sort of like Florida swampland only prettier. The cattle
coming up from the Nueces on their way to market ate all the grasses up
there, leaving room for the cedar to take over.
Unless the Chili Queens predate the immigrants.
