    300 yards down the main Llano is crossing used 1867-1900 by cattle herds of Real, Frio, Kerr, Kimble, Medina, Edwards, Uvalde counties. Capts. Chas. A. Schreiner and John Lytle put half a million SL cattle over this end of western trail, up to market in Dodge City. Also this way went herds of 7 OL, Western Union Beef Co., Seth Mabry, Terry, Hodges and Schmelter ranches. In early days vehicles from London and Junction forded here on way to Fredericksburg, San Antonio, Kerrville. Here also in old-time camp meetings, settlers convened for weeks. (1965)
