Roberts, D.W. (Dan W.), 1849-1940.

Hide Profile

Author Luvenia (Lou) Conway (1849-1940), born in Crockett, Texas, published a sixty-four-page memoir in 1928 entitled A Woman's Reminiscences of Six Years in Camp with the Texas Rangers, which chronicles her daily life and experiences living with the Texas Rangers.

Mrs. Conway married Daniel Webster Roberts in 1875, and soon joined him and the Texas Rangers, where for the next six years she learned several survival skills and met other pioneering women. In 1882, due to her husband's poor health, they left the Texas Rangers and settled in New Mexico where they resided for the next thirty years before returning to Texas.
