Brazos River as seen from the east bank, just below the falls, near the site of Sarahville de Viesca. In 1832, Samuel Gholson and his youngest son Albert moved to the area known as Coahuila y Tejas and participated in the establishment of the Republic of Texas. They lived near the Falls of the Brazos.

Replica of a log cabin at Fort Parker, similar to the one inhabited by Samuel Gholson and his son.

Inside the walls of the restored Fort Parker, 10 miles northwest of Groesbeck. Most of the occupants of the fort were killed in an Indian raid in 1836. Nine-year-old Cynthia Ann Parker was one of those kidnapped. She was adopted by the tribe, married Chief Peta Nocona and lived with the Comanches until 1860, when she was recaptured by a party of Texas Rangers led by Sul Ross at the Battle of Pease River.

Mesquite tree at the site of the Battle of Pease River. According to Sul Ross's account, Chief Peta Nocona was holding on to a tree similar to this one when he was shot and killed by his former slave Antonio Martinez who, unfortunately for Nocona, happened to be present because he was working as Sul Ross's cook. Sul Ross had decided to spare the chief because of his bravery, but Antonio carried too much resentment to pass up such a golden opportunity.
