In 1861  Labon Tucker and his sons came to the area south of this cache to build a version of the Colt Dragoon for the Confederacy. J. H. Sherrard also joined in the enterprise. Compelled by Lt Governor of Texas John M. Crockett to build thousands. They built the factory but because supplies were low during the war not many were made and are highly collectible. This also being the site of a library destroyed by the F4 tornando in 1994 and rebuilt. The Library moved.
