A transcript of a Rangelore interview conducted by Sheldon F. Gauthier for the Works Progress Administration's Federal Writers' Project in the 1930s with Elizabeth Roe. Roe was born Elizabeth Fletcher in 1855 on her father's farm in Ash Creek, near Azle, Texas. Her father died during the Civil War, leaving her mother and their three children to run the farm. In her interview, Roe discusses farming cattle and hogs, growing crops, making clothing, dealing with rustlers, and Native American raids. She later married a Texas Ranger and describes the beginnings of the town of Azle.
