Stephen R. GaganNARRATOR
By spring, I had become as restless as a bear and longed to get back to the frontier.
Stephen R. GaganNARRATOR
Finally, I could stand the idleness no longer and told my mother I was going back to Menard County to work for Mr. Franks.
Stephen R. GaganNARRATOR
I reached the town of Menardville in early March 1875.
Stephen R. GaganNARRATOR
There, I learned that Joe Franks was then at work in South Llano in Kimble County, about sixty miles from Menard.

But the enlistment, as announced by Captain Roberts, would not be made until June 1, 1875, and I reached Menardville early in March.
P. K. SolocoNARRATOR
I had intended going on to join Mr. Frank's outfit, but, as explained in a previous chapter, I hired out to Mr. Ellis until I could enlist in Captain Roberts' company.
P. K. SolocoNARRATOR
About the middle of May 1875, Joe Franks had worked back over into Menard County.
P. K. SolocoNARRATOR
I wished to see my old friends in his outfit and so went over to meet them.

"Lost in the Talarico-has-a-lobbyist-girlfriend-and-she's-vegan story is a detail that apparently Brianna Menard is descended from Michael Branamore Menard, the Canadian fur trader who founded Galveston, Texas, and signed the Teclas- Texas Declaration of Independence, and who Menard County is named after, LOL."
