Fort Worth was established in June of 1849, just east of the Cross Timbers on a high bluff overlooking the confluence of the Clear Fork and the West Fork of the Trinity River. The Dragoons and their commanding officer Major Ripley Arnold set up the new U.S. Army post as part of a defensive picket to protect new settlements.

Introduction: The Dragoons helped to found Fort WorthMajor Arnold took a small party of 2nd Dragoon troopers and proceeded west to a spot near the confluence of the Clear and West forks of the Trinity. There, at the end of May, they planted Old Glory on the future site of Fort Worth. A week later, Arnold was back with his entire command, the 42 men of Company F, 2nd Dragoons. The men set to work building a fort and, by the end of August, they were ready to move in.

Introduction: The Dragoons helped to found Fort WorthThe Dragoons had a very distinctive uniform. They were essentially mounted infantrymen until the mid 1850s, when they developed the cavalry tactics used during the Civil War. Note the shortened rifle, called a “musketoon,” and the heavy saber. They fought on foot and used their horses mostly as transportation.

Our Masonic forefathers supported the idea of free universal education for the citizenry. Masons were among the pioneers who moved into and developed new areas. One of their first endeavors in a new community was to build a Masonic Lodge. Generally, this was a two-story structure with the ground floor to serve as a schoolroom and the upstairs as the lodge.

Freemasonry is firmly committed to building a better community and a better world. For these reasons, we feel the nurturing of the leaders of tomorrow's society is vitally necessary! Freemasons must support the public school system. We are depending on our young people for the future, but for the present, we must let them know that they can depend on us!” (Frederick Eby, ‘The Development of Education in Texas’, quoted in James Carter, Education and Masonry in Texas to 1846.)

The First Family of Fort Worth Jane and George “Press” Farmer
Welcome Back to the Fort: A Study of Community
George Preston Farmer (1817-1892) and Jane Woody Farmer (1827-1895) were here before there was a HERE here. In 1849 the couple had been roughing it on the Trinity River, living in a tent after Indians had burned down their log cabin, when Major Ripley Arnold and the Second Dragoons arrived to establish the Fort that would become Fort Worth. The Farmers had pitched their tent right where Arnold wanted to establish the fort, so George became the fort’s sutler (a civilian merchant who sells provisions to an army.)

George and Jane and daughter Susan were listed in the 1850 census of the fort. After the Army vacated the fort in 1853, George and Jane homesteaded, eventually settling in southeast Fort Worth. George and Jane are buried in Forest Hill Cemetery. Susan Ann Farmer lived into the 1940s. Thus, she witnessed the first ninety years of Fort Worth history, saw Fort Worth’s population grow from her parents and herself to 177,000.

Enrichment: Business at the FortGenerally, the sutlers built their stores within the limits of an army post and first needed to receive a license from the Commander prior to construction. Sutlers, frequently the only local supplier of non-military goods, often developed monopolies on simple commodities like tobacco, coffee, or sugar and rose to a powerful stature. Since government-issued coinage was scarce, sutlers often conducted transactions using a bartering system when money was unavailable.

Bartering is a system of exchange where goods & services are exchanged for other goods or services without using an official medium of exchange such as money. This was useful on the frontier where official money was hard to come by even at the forts.

American clothing during this period was still very much regional. Immigrants held onto much of their traditional dress. Clothing also denoted social status, and only in America could the poor have the chance to achieve a better life. For these people, clothing was an outward expression of the American dream.

In the untamed American wilderness, things were a bit different. While European settlers took with them a combination of their traditional garb and their new American styles, these types of garments were not always conducive to the untamed terrain and their new living conditions. They had to adapt their clothing to the demands of the region. Many incorporated deerskin, fur, and other types of wilderness materials. Women planted flax from which they made their own fabrics.

Parents depended on their children to help out. Children’s days would begin at first light. They would go to the well and get water, lay a fire, bring in wood, and boil water. The children would then milk the cows and collect eggs. Without electricity or running water, everyday chores took longer. Doing the laundry might take an entire day.

Children learned to cook, bake, make soap and candles, sew and spin. Young children did household chores together and then around the age of 9 or 10 they started to work in the field - boys and girls. For girls, working alongside boys was a big change. In more settled parts of the country, girls were expected to do only household chores. Girls had freer lives in the West.

There were a variety of Plains Indians in the area including the Comanches, Caddos, Anadarkos, Wacos, Tawakonis, Tonkawas, and Wichitas. Their knowledge of the local plants and animals was vital to the survival of all settlers looking to live in this region. They had a strong knowledge of which grasses were best for grazing and what berries were best to eat.

They also had knowledge of native animals such as bison that played a part in practically every aspect of the lives of Native Americans. Early explorers and pioneers found bison trails to be level and safe passageways, preferring them because they were well packed down and did not lead to swamps or quicksand. In fact, many of our modern roads and interstate highways were once bison trails.

Frontier families found game plentiful and wild fruits and berries in good supply. Deer, bison, antelope, turkeys, squirrels, ducks, geese, quail, catfish, hogs and prairie chickens furnished a varied diet, along with wild plums, persimmons, grapes and pecans. In the spring, the land was a riot of wildflowers and grasses: daisies, buttercups, bluebonnets and sweet williams, with mockingbirds, blue jays and scissortails among the myriad of birds found in the region.

Of all the pests and hazards of frontier life -bears, panthers, wolves, coyotes, foxes, grasshoppers, drought and flood - one of the worst was grasshoppers. Capt. Pope at Fort Belknap in April 1854 reported an army of grasshoppers that filled the tents. In October of the same year, grasshoppers were as thick as a snowstorm in the Fort Chadbourne area: like a Biblical plague, the horde swept through the area for three days straight, one report said.

Louis-Jacques Daguerre invented the daguerreotype process in France in August of 1839. American photographers quickly capitalized on this new invention, that was capable of capturing a; “truthful likeness”. By 1850 it had made its way to Fort Worth.

By the 1850s, the greeting card had been transformed from an expensive to an affordable means of communication, due largely to advances in printing and mechanization, as well as the 1840 introduction of the postage stamp.

The tradition of celebrating a person’s birthday with a birthday cake & lit candles originated in 1746 when Count Ludwig von Zinzendorf celebrated his birthday. Prior to 1850 in the United States, the observance of birthdays was not a universal tradition as it is today. This would have been a new way to celebrate at the time of Ripley Arnold’s 33rd birthday. This is a traditional recipe from a 1849 volume of The Modern Housewife, a classic Victorian cookbook that Mrs. Arnold may have used.

Ripley Arnold’s wife Kate was a woman of culture who frequently traveled with her children between Washington D.C. and her husband’s outposts like Fort Worth. She and her children brought culture to the early days at the fort.Another of the areas cultured inhabitants was Dr. Adolphus F. Gouhenant, a French exile who immigrated to Texas in 1848. He was a member of the short-lived Icarian colony. After the colony disbanded, he came to Fort Worth, where he became friends with Major Ripley Arnold and his wife, Kate.

There were various types of music at the fort- some people preferred classical music, others folk music. Folk music was the popular form of music of the day and often followed immigrants from their native countries (such as Scottish Reels) while classical music was considered the more cultured of the two. Both used similar instruments: piano, violin (fiddle) and mandolin. Instruments like the harmonica and guitar were also common.

Slide18Our Masonic forefathers supported the idea of free universal education for the citizenry. Masons were among the pioneers who moved into and developed new areas. One of their first endeavors in a new community was to build a Masonic Lodge. Generally, this was a two-story structure with the ground floor to serve as a schoolroom and the upstairs as the lodge.

Welcome Back to the Fort: A Study of Community
George Preston Farmer (1817-1892) and Jane Woody Farmer (1827-1895) were here before there was a HERE here. In 1849 the couple had been roughing it on the Trinity River, living in a tent after Indians had burned down their log cabin, when Major Ripley Arnold and the Second Dragoons arrived to establish the Fort that would become Fort Worth. The Farmers had pitched their tent right where Arnold wanted to establish the fort, so George became the fort’s sutler (a civilian merchant who sells provisions to an army.)

After the Army vacated the fort in 1853, George and Jane homesteaded, eventually settling in southeast Fort Worth. George and Jane are buried in Forest Hill Cemetery. Susan Ann Farmer lived into the 1940s. Thus, she witnessed the first ninety years of Fort Worth history, saw Fort Worth’s population grow from her parents and herself to 177,000.

Slide27Enrichment: Business at the FortGenerally, the sutlers built their stores within the limits of an army post and first needed to receive a license from the Commander prior to construction. Sutlers, frequently the only local supplier of non-military goods, often developed monopolies on simple commodities like tobacco, coffee, or sugar and rose to a powerful stature. Since government-issued coinage was scarce, sutlers often conducted transactions using a bartering system when money was unavailable.

Slide30In the untamed American wilderness, things were a bit different. While European settlers took with them a combination of their traditional garb and their new American styles, these types of garments were not always conducive to the untamed terrain and their new living conditions. They had to adapt their clothing to the demands of the region. Many incorporated deerskin, fur, and other types of wilderness materials. Women planted flax from which they made their own fabrics.

Young children did household chores together and then around the age of 9 or 10 they started to work in the field - boys and girls. For girls, working alongside boys was a big change. In more settled parts of the country, girls were expected to do only household chores. Girls had freer lives in the West.

Early explorers and pioneers found bison trails to be level and safe passageways, preferring them because they were well packed down and did not lead to swamps or quicksand. In fact, many of our modern roads and interstate highways were once bison trails.

Prior to 1850 in the United States, the observance of birthdays was not a universal tradition as it is today. This would have been a new way to celebrate at the time of Ripley Arnold’s 33rd birthday. This is a traditional recipe from a 1849 volume of The Modern Housewife, a classic Victorian cookbook that Mrs. Arnold may have used.
