Why am I not surprised?  The only time (other than transiently) I was
in Texas, on a vacation in Big Bend Park with my family back in '76,
we were interested to see a historical marker memorializing the
final removal of "vermin and Indians", in that order, from some
county or other.

Reminded me of the signs at Annapolis:  no dogs or midshipmen on the grass.
