About this title

Synopsis

In January 1859, Henry Belding arrived on the Palo Pinto prairie and selected unclaimed land west of the Brazos where it was crossed by the Great Comanche Trail. Six generations later, that ranch still exists. Centering on the history of the Belding family, Painted Pole tells the story of brutal conflicts between the settlers and Native Americans in Palo Pinto, and of the settlers' struggle to establish themselves on the frontier even while fighting for their survival.
