William Hepworth Dixon, White Conquest: Volume 1, Chapter 27: a Zambo village. (search)
Lib here, paper dar. What place? Hi! hi! dis place Caddo; colour genl'men lib in Caddo-hi! Caddo, a villagCaddo, a village in the Choctaw district, thirtytwo miles north of Red River, thirty-seven miles south of Limstone Gap, is a the Creek region, and with Denison city, in Texas. Caddo can boast of a printing-press and of a weekly sheet s the marvel in the ruts and tracks. The people of Caddo are the sight of sights; these cabins in the fields y creatures are said to be prolific. Every cabin in Caddo shows a brood of imps; and if the new school of ethnnary Blacks. What sort of mongrels shall we find at Caddo in a hundred years? If she is left alone, Caddo may Caddo may yield a family on the pattern of Los Angelos and San Jose, and give a line of heroes like Tiburcio Vasquez to the ranch men of Red River and Limestone Gap. At Caddo, then, we have some means of studying the two questionsauntering in and out, among the stores and yards at Caddo, we chance to kick an ant-hill, and disturb the smal

Chapter 29: in Caddo. The Negro slaves were free; but free in a separate Indian country, in the midst of y fugitives from Choctaw lodges and Chickasaw tents, Caddo has become a home. The site on which these outcas nearer families to move their lodges farther back. Caddo, abandoned to the iron horse and liberated slave, became a town. A Negro has no legal right to squat in Caddo, but squatting is the game of folks who stand outsidtrip. These facts I find announced to the people of Caddo, and to all the happy hunting-fields between Red Rivhen a widow called Mrs. Star Hunter was in chase? Caddo, as might be expected from her origin, is radical, nd having no part in the Indian system, the people of Caddo wish to change the whole existing order of things — yet we have acquired no rights. You find us here in Caddo, but we are living here by sufferance, 3co not by rmises of Choctaw chiefs. Such are the politics of Caddo, a hamlet peopled by Negroes and Zambos; such the pr

are weighted by their savage blood. They start well, for their father is, in almost every case, a White. On crossing from the Creek country to the Choctaw country, by way of the Canadian river, we arrive at a store and mill, kept by a brave Scot, named McAlister. A rolling prairie spreads around, with pines and cedars on the heights, and rivulets trickling here and there. McAlister came into the Indian land by chance. The country pleased him, and, unlike his countryman, McPherson, of Caddo, he settled down legally on the soil by taking a Choctaw wife, and getting himself adopted by the tribe. McAlister, like a brave Scot, has bought and sold, scraped and saved. From flour to whisky, everything that an Indian wants to buy, McAlister has to sell. By adding field to field, and farm to farm, McAlister is getting nearly all the land of this Prairie into his own hands. In time his ranch will be a town; that town will bear his name. These White intruders have no trouble in m

Chapter 32: a frontier town. From Caddo to Red River is a bee-line of thirty miles. A clearing in the jungle has been made near the river-bank, and the name of Red River City has been printed on local maps; but not a single shanty, not even a ork went merrily on. The Nelson House was roofed, the Adams House begun. Shanties here and there sprang up. Negroes from Caddo and Vinita, Jews from Dallas, Shreveport, and Galveston, rowdies and gamblers from every quarter of the compass, flocked territory. If he is going to open up the country, we are ready at the gates. All Denison will move across Red River. Caddo is nearer to Fort Sill than Denison, and would suit the Government better as a magazine of arms and stores. Two words along the wires, just Go ahead, would bring ten thousand men to Denison, Caddo, and Limestone Gap in less than a week. That country, Sir, is the garden of America. If Ulysses S. Grant will only give the sign, I guess our Texan horse will soon be p
