Trial Ride at Prude Ranch
As we were getting ready to saddle up, we recognized the other family with us: Kelly Willis, Bruce Robison and their kids. You just can't get very far away from the Austin music scene.
One of our wranglers turned out to be a history major and spent half the ride telling me about his family history. His 2nd great grand father came from Antwerp, Beligium. After making his way to North America, he was recruited into the army during the war with Mexico. He still didn't speak a word of English, so as the recruiters tried to get his name the most they could discern was that he was "DutchAllOver". So that became the family name (he later dropped the "all" to make it Dutchover).
