"Mama," Jane's voice
quavered, "I hear Injuns up on the roof. Can they come down the
chimney?" So began one of the many dangers faced by Jane McGregor and
her mother, Caroline, in Comanche County, Texas in 1872. A band of
Comanche Indians captured two small neighbor children. Jane's father,
Robert, and other area ranchers, had to find them and negotiate their
release --avoiding bloodshed if possible. But there were good times,
too. When she was 13, Jane's father gave her a beautiful roan mare named
Clover, and the two formed an unbreakable, loving bond. Together they
shared adventures and understanding. When Jane's brother, Allen, married
Maggie under an arch covered with vines and flowers, Jane had a sister
at last. She even caught the bouquet. By 1876, Comanche County had
advanced and prospered, and the pioneer McGregor family grew and
prospered with it. That same year, Jane fell in love and began planning
her wedding.
