FOOTNOTES.
[1]Called by the Spaniards, La Vaca.
[2]Now Dimmitt’s Point on the La Vaca.
[3]L’Archevêque afterward returned to America and settled in Santa Fé,
New Mexico, where he married and died, and where his descendants
still live. See A. F. Bandelier’s _Gilded Man_.
[4]La Salle never married. His title was inherited by his brother,
numerous descendants of whom are living in Louisiana.
[5]Charles II.
[6]The name more probably was derived from the Tehas Indians, a tribe
whose central village was built on the present site of Mound Prairie.
[7]_Alamo_, cottonwood.
[8]These Spanish and Indian builders were called “The Children of San
José.”
[9]A Mexican dance.
[10]Salcedo, the Spanish commander at Monterey, said that if “he had the
power he would stop even the birds from flying across the Sabine.”
[11]Nolan afterward claimed to have made this map for the benefit of the
United States government in case of a war with Spain. He wrote, upon
the eve of this journey: “Will we have a war? At all events, I can
cut my way back and you can rely upon me.” (Letter to General
Wilkinson, June 10, 1797.)
[12]Ellis Bean’s diary.
