Description
A transcript of a WPA interview by Sheldon F. Gauthier with Tinnie T. Combs in the 1930s. Combs was born in 1855 while her family was moving to Texas from Tennessee. They settled at Dozier Creek which is now part of Eagle Mountain Lake. She explains that Fort Worth was the trading post the family used but does not recall much of the village. Combs does describe life growing up in Dozier Creek, mostly how the family produced their own food, raised livestock and made everything themselves. In the interview she shows a quilt she made fully by hand. Combs describes the situation the settlers had with Indians.
