Such was the life on the Butterfield Stage route from 1857 to 1861. Although the larger stations such as Fort Chadbourne were what folks saw on the route schedules, the fact was they needed stations spaced approximately 30 miles apart to relieve the mule teams. After Fort Chadbourne the travelers first came to the Grape Creek Station and next Johnson's Station.

Another account in October 1859 by a traveler went like this.

“Our spirited little landlady, reared in eastern Texas, gave us a description of an attack

on the station by one hundred twenty Comanche who were held off by the stock tender,

her husband and herself three weeks before.” The lady declared, “We won’t be driven

out by worthless red-skins.”
