Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Mackenzie Raid Into Mexico
Ort Clark Texas, is situated in Kinney County, latitude 29 17' North, longitude 2 3° 18' West, at an approximate elevation of feet above the sea.
It is 125 miles west of San Antonio de Bexar and 4 5 miles north of Fort Duncan, at Eagle Pass, opposite Piedras Negras, Mexico, on the Rio Grande River.
Its location is on a rocky ridge of limestone, at the foot of which is a magnificent live - oak grove. Amidst its cool, inviting shadows, bubbling and sparkling from a clear and crystal pool, a series of beautiful springs, called the Las Moras (the Mulberries), emerge into a smooth and narrow, but sluggish, stream. It forms the source of the river or creek bearing the same name, which, ?owing on some eighteen or twenty miles, mingles its waters with the Rio Bravo or Rio Grande, our International boundary line.
