Billy Dixon and a company of fifty hunters travel south on the Jones and Plummer Trail past the Cimarron River and out into Indian Territory. When the expedition reaches Adobe Walls Creek, Billy Dixon, Tyler and Masterson decide to explore an old abandoned trading post. When the three explorers reach the old trading post they discover an old Ute drawing to help them unearth the story of the Battle of the Adobe Walls. The story written by Mike King and narrated by Brad Smalley becomes the first lesson in engaging warfare with the Plains Indians.
In 1843, the trading firm of Bent, St. Vrain & Company established a log structure trading site on what is now known as Bent Creek in Hutchinson County Texas. In 1845, they replaced the log structure with an adobe brick 80 feet square single-entrance fort, with walls that rose 9 feet. The fort was closed in 1848 due to Indian depredations. In 1849, William Bent blew up the remains of the fort and departed the panhandle of Texas.
