W.T. Caldwell Rides Again: Horseback Ride To Austin To Sue The T&P Railroad in 1881
Jim Webb is amazing in all he knows about the early history of Cisco. He has either owned land and buildings in Cisco and the area, or he has built or rebuilt many homes and structures. During this process he has collected a large number of abstracts—at one time these were retained with the deeds and as he sold his property, he kept some of the interesting ones. At one time Jim Webb owned 37 Vi acres at the former site of Red Gap, which predated the founding of the town of Cisco. This acreage was owned by W. T. Caldwell, who became postmaster of Red Gap and was also postmaster later in 1882 in Cisco. Thanks to Jim Webb for sharing some interesting original documents.
