Battle of Stone Houses
The Battle of Stone Houses was a skirmish between Texas Rangers and a band of Kichai Indians which took place on November 10, 1837. The skirmish, which took place ten miles south of what is now Windthorst, Texas, was named for three stone mounds near the battlefield which appeared to the Indians to be small houses.〔Loftin, Jack O.: (Battle of Stone Houses ) - ''TSHA Handbook of Texas Online''〕
==Background==
A group of Kichai raided Fort Smith, Texas on the Little River sometime early in October 1837.〔Minor, David: (Fort Smith, Texas ) - ''TSHA Handbook of Texas Online''〕 On the 13th, a company of Texas Rangers, led by Captain William Eastland, pursued them up the Colorado River; however, the Rangers soon lost the trail.〔Cutrer, Thomas W.: (William M. Eastland ) - ''TSHA Handbook of Texas Online''〕 Captain Eastland then began quarreling with Lieutenant A. B. Van Benthusen, and as a result the company separated. Van Benthusen took seventeen men north with him, and located the Indians' trail on November 1. They then continued north to the Brazos River.
On November 3, near what was to become Fort Belknap, the Rangers found a band of Cherokee and Delawares being led by a Kichai guide, who was immediately killed. The others were spared when they claimed to be friends to all Texans and enemies of the Comanches.
