Quanah was the first stop on my road trip this summer. It was early on Sunday morning, so I didn’t get to experience the town, but I did find one of the arrows that marks the life and times of the town's namesake, Quanah Parker.
I also found a marker commemorating a shootout between two law officers at the Quanah Depot. The shootout happened in 1890 and was really the result of verbal sparring and someone’s feelings being hurt.
Quanah is just over 3 hours from Fort Worth, so I’m hopeful that I can visit again to explore a bit more of this town.
