Hardscramble is the name given to an early 1800s stone structure located near Seguin, Texas, that was used as a home station by some of the earliest and famous of Texas Rangers. ==History== According to research for a Texas historical marker, Hardscramble located on 1806 Tschoepe Rd., Seguin, Texas was the home station of early Texas Rangers, Henry McCulloch〔Harold J. Weiss, Jr., "MCCULLOCH, HENRY EUSTACE," Handbook of Texas Online (), accessed July 03, 2012. Published by the Texas State Historical Association.〕 and Benjamin McCulloch〔Thomas W. Cutrer, "MCCULLOCH, BENJAMIN," Handbook of Texas Online (), accessed July 03, 2012. Published by the Texas State Historical Association.〕 from 1841 until 1853. Nathaniel Benton〔Stephanie P. Niemeyer, "BENTON, NATHANIEL," Handbook of Texas Online (), accessed July 03, 2012. Published by the Texas State Historical Association.〕 occupied the building in 1858 and later in 1871, it was home to Elijah Dale. A Texas Centennial marker was placed to honor the location and its history in 1936.〔(9key, Hardscramble marker )〕 The old ranger station and marker still stand at the location and occasional tours can be arranged locally.〔(Seguin Gazette article )〕 A second and older adobe Walnut Branch Ranger Station and hospital once stood at the corner of Court and Guadalupe Streets. It was used by the Caldwell, Callahan and Hays Rangers. No longer standing, it was unexpectedly razed around 2000. A city historical marker has been placed to honor and identify the location.〔Texas Almanac, 1964-1965, Book, 1963; digital images, (: accessed July 04, 2012 ), University of North Texas Libraries, The Portal to Texas History, http://texashistory.unt.edu; crediting Texas State Historical Association, Denton, Texas.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hardscramble」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
