D. L. HAMMACK --1897
Mr. Hammack was born in Wisconsin in 1845,came to
Coryell County in 1853, and in 1875 settled on Mustang
Creek in Hamilton County. He was typical of the rugged pioneers
who blazed the trails in Texas. Stated the 1897 Herald:
"Like all those rugged characters of the formative
period, Mr. Hammack is a man of generous impulses, and while he takes but
little stock in an enemy, can never do too much for a friend, especially
one with whom he shared his bear skin, his venison, and his camp fire in
early days. His word is as good and rue as the old time hospitality
that he still shares with the stranger and the wayfarer that chance
happens to bring to his now comfortable home. He is reckoned as one
of the prominent stockmen of Hamilton County."
