Gibson sold fourteen cattle in Montague County and thirteen cattle in Grayson County, both of which lie on the border with Oklahoma, north of Dallas. This document records the marks and brands of the cattle involved in the sales, with statements and signatures witnessing the transactions. A fascinating piece of evidence on how livestock sales were conducted in post-Civil War Texas."--Vendor's description. |
