| History
in a Pecan Shell
In
his well-researched and detailed Volume Springs of Texas, Gunnar Brune
introduces us to hundreds of springs, streams, creeks, tributaries, wells and
maybe a swamp or two - many of which have names unsuitable for towns.
Six miles southwest of Aspermont
in Stonewall County is Big Stinking Creek. Sulphur springs feed the creek and
give it its name (and odor).
It's not a heavily populated area, so there
are few people that have to endure the embarrassment of giving directions to visitors.
Big Stinking Creek flows for sixteen miles before joining the Salt Fork of the
Brazos River. |
