First sheep herder

[edit]

"The first sheeper herder of the community was Ivy Richards, an orphan boy" p. 41. No man's land becomes a county. True or even important enough to include? Sillyputty1967 (talk) 16:18, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Telegraph

[edit]

"Fort Phantom Hill Trail," a military route that connected Fort Phantom Hill and Austin passed through Mills County and was the location of the first telegraph line." No Man's Land ... talks about a telgraph line that ran to Fort Concho, and its office was at the hotel at Williams Ranch. How does it fit into Fort Phantom Hill?

Tillable land stats

[edit]

One report from 1957 identifies only nineteen percent of the land can be tilled, placing an emphasis on grazing land ... This figure probably needs to be updated with current info. Sillyputty1967 (talk) 16:22, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Politics

[edit]

Would like to see the politics section fleshed out a lot more. Need to find better sources supporting political history. Sillyputty1967 (talk) 16:26, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Communities

[edit]

I have not gone through the community section of "Mills County Memories" and added any additional info from that source. Needs to be done. Sillyputty1967 (talk) 16:30, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

San Saba Peak

[edit]

Is San Saba Peak part of the Cowhouse Mountains? Sillyputty1967 (talk) 16:38, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

County Flower

[edit]

In "A No Man's Land Becomes a County," on page 151, there is mention of the Texas Plume Standing Cypress as the county flower. I think I'll add it, along with an image. Sillyputty1967 (talk) 17:31, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Farming and Ranching Section

[edit]

Farming and ranching section needs to be organized better/tightened up. Sillyputty1967 (talk) 13:28, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
