In 1853, from somewhere in Central Texas, Mrs. Jane Wilson and family started out for the California gold fields. When they reached the Guadalupe Mountains they were attacked by Comanches and Jane Wilson was the only survivor. She found a tree stump large enough to shelter her and lived on raw frogs for several weeks. She was rescued by Pueblo Indians who were awarded $50 by the governor of New Mexico for her kind treatment.
