Isham Lamb Wrote About Red Gap and Robert E. Townsend Wrote About Indians, Cattle, and Early Settlers of the Cisco Area
Isham Lamb reported in the Cisco American, February 9, 1929, that Red Gap was the first post office in western Eastland County, one and one-half miles west of the railroad crossing that became the town of Cisco in 1881. Red Gap had begun in 1877, a tent city when the railroad came through a gap of red hills, but it had begun largely because its location was near crossroads of several early trails and roads.
