Book excerpt: Though Limestone County was established on April 11, 1846, the first Anglo settlers arrived in 1833, while Texas was still part of Mexico. They built Fort Parker, the site of an 1836 Indian attack. Of the five captives taken, Cynthia Ann Parker grew up as a Comanche, married a Comanche chief, and became the mother of Quanah Parker, the last great Comanche chief. Springfield was the first permanent settlement and first county seat. The Houston and Texas Central Railroad began construction of a line through the county in 1869 and established the towns of Kosse, Thornton, Groesbeck, and Mexia. Following the Civil War, cotton became the major agricultural endeavor. During the 1920s, the Mexia Oil Boom brought prosperity to the county. Sadly, many of the small farming communities disappeared after World War II, when cattle ranching replaced farming. Today, major attractions include Lake Limestone, Old Fort Parker, Fort Parker State Park, the Confederate Reunion Grounds, and the Prairie Hill Drag Strip.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cotton Was King Limestone, Alabama Plantation Series Book Four gives a history of Limestone County from Indian occupation to the Civil War including the Indian tribes that lived and controlled the area prior to white settlers. During historic times, Doublehead leased lands in the area to white settlers; an 1810 petition lists alphabetically some 400 of these settlers in the Elk River area. Also discussed is the creation of Limestone County, Athens, Sims Settlement, Fort Hampton, Over Elk Region, and early roads and ferries. Beginning in early 1818, many wealthy cotton planters mostly from Virginia migrated into the area after Indian removal in 1816. Over 620 cotton planters in Limestone County owning more than ten black slaves are listed in a table from 1820 through 1860. Several individual profiles of wealthy cotton planters and slave owners are discussed in detail.
