Huber, 111 Santa Fe Trail, Whitewright, TX 75491. "Page 109: On December 18, 1845, came the whoop of joy of Isabel Russell. She had come with her family from North Carolina (actually Missouri) by cavalcade. 'They crossed the Red River into Texas at Old Warren, north of Bonham . . . When they reached the river, young Isabel, thirteen years old, wanted so much to be the 'First Girl in Texas', that she jumped down from the wagon and mounted her horse and rode across at a gallop through the shallow water of the ford. Although the water was shallow here, the river was dangerous because of quicksand. That was why she moved quickly. She had to ride back, as a matter of fact, because the men decided to wait until morning to cross with the wagons. They made camp on the north side of the river for the night. Next morning, the wagons were lightened as much as possible so they too, could cross quickly enough to avoid bogging down in the quicksand."
