Seizing it from a drug dealer - priceless.

The Brazos County Sheriff’s Department is making a statement against drugs with this luxury SUV confiscated from drug dealers. When the Lincoln Navigator was stopped the bad guy had 175 grams of methamphetamines, marijuana, a set of scales and a handgun. This was no petty criminal, this man was also hiding out an escaped convict.

Once, many years ago, there was a little community of friends and family along the Brazos River. Across the river from Littlefield Bend in what was known as Gilbert’s Valley, they worked their farms, traded at the towns nearby, and warded of Indian attacks. People fell in love and were married, children were born and they even had their own school.

Slowly, one by one, people left. Today, not much is left of the Old Red Bluff community. Many do not even know it existed or know it by name.

But thanks to our ancestor, we do. I would like to share some it’s stories with you. It is told by a man who was born there, Embry Hatfield. His story of the family coming to Texas and early Parker - Palo Pinto County history is interesting.

I hope you enjoy it!
