The Auburn Faithful
Today we traveled to Old Fort Worth, where the Stockyards are located. Texas became a major cattle state after the Civil War and Fort Worth became the stopover for cattle drives that were going to Witchita and Kansas City to provide beef to the East. Cattle, Sheep and Hogs were brought in as Armour and Swift located packing plants at Fort Worth. During World War I the place became a major supplier of mules and horses for the US and European countries. Today this area is a tourist attraction that still has a simulated cattle drive downtown of Texas Longhorns. We had lunch at Joe Garcia's Mexican Restaurant. The food was excellent! This is one of two places that Bush, 43, comes to eat while in the area. The restaurant is the oldest in Fort Worth and has several acres of beautiful courtyards, I recommend eating in the Courtyard.
