WTX - A History of West Texas

#8 - Before There Were Boots on the Caprock


Listen Later

Welcome to Season 2 of WTX: A History of West Texas! In this episode, we’re starting at the very beginning. Not the beginning of cowboy stories or Comanche raids — the beginning. Before the first human foot ever stepped onto the Llano Estacado. Before the great herds roamed, before the rivers carved their canyons, before the very Caprock stood sentinel. We’ll come face to face with Columbian mammoths, saber-toothed cats, and even dinosaurs. Each once king of these plains.
