“Showed'em How
UncleCharlie Coleman says that the bunch of shanty Irish that was sent out from St.Louis to build the road wasn't getting anything done until him and Bill Oglesby tuk hold and showed them how to build a railroad.
They built her into Leon Junction which was the end of the line until Gatesville folks woke up and asked old man Fordyce, president of the road, to build it into the county seat, instead of branching off at the Junction and going to Lampasas Springs.”
