FOREWORD In this issue of the Stone Fort we wish to give grateful recognition to the heritage left us by aboriginal man, the Tejas Indian, who three hundred years ago, like shadows of the dawn on a misty autumn morning, here measured off their days in peace. The red man, calm beneath the peace of heaven, the sky his sanctuary, companion of the pines and moaning winds and hills and laughing streams, pursued his stolid way, perhaps in sloth about his tent, perhaps in chase of game to fill his simple wants, perhaps in war to test his strength, or make a name, or guard the store that lavish nature freely gave. His day has passed and gone. The red man took his squaw, his horse, his dog and van- ished like silent mist, but tokens of his life remain forever. He has left his mark upon our pine trees, left his name upon our rivers, left romance in many a legend, left his poetry upon our flowers.
