A cousin of mine directed me to a webpage with a wonderful 1839 DIARY written by Clinton Harrison MOORE. The descriptions that Mr. Moore gives about his journey from Tennessee to Texas are fabulous. I found the Diary especially interesting because when he finally settled around the Austin, Texas, area, he met a BARTON family and stayed there. This Diary really makes history come alive, and gives one an outstanding picture of the times of the early Texas Republic. It also lets one know what traveling was really like back then. Caroleen Dorsey Williams Don't miss this one.
