Then come roads of varying character, but dragged and improved. The Bandera country is a section of scenic attraction. Bandera Paji is noted for two famous battles. Long before the Revolutionary War. the Spanish were colonizing San Antonio an*l establishing the missions. Many Indian tribes peaceably accepted the ministrations of Mission Fathers end helped build the missions and develop the irrigation and other works of the ambitious communal life fostered by the Spaniards. Apaches lived in the Banderc hills, and jreqncntly raided the San Antonio colony. The King of Spain detailed troops, and General Bandera fought a bloody three-day's battle and the Apaches were driven westward. In later years the Apaches burned their name deep in the cnnals of the far west. A hundred years later, IS 10, when Texas was a Republic, Captain Jack Hays and a band of Rangers fought another bloody battle at the Pass with the Comanchcs. That, too. become a notable day in the perilous game of C°tween * Bwdera and Center Point is old Camp Verde, where, when Jefferson Davis was Secretary of War, his experiment in using camels for this country was tried out.
