QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
What is the exact location of the place referred to by the Texas histories, as Mound Prairie?
Z. T. Fulmore.
In the Quarterly of October there is a query as to where General Houston was from April, 1833, to October, 1835. My father moved to Texas with his family in November, 1833. I often heard my mother relate the following incident: As we were traveling between San Augustine and Nacogdoches one morning a gentleman came by riding a fine horse and wearing a broad brimmed hat, which he touched politely as he passed the ladies. Late in the evening the same man was met returning, and the same gentlemanly deference shown by him. Very soon after, our party stopped in front of a wayside store where several men were collected, and mother asked one of them if he knew who that gentleman was whom they had just met. “That,” said he, “is Governor Houston, and he says that there is going to be a war in Texas before long, and he means to figure in it.” This was about the end of November, 1833.
