Shortly after the civil war, Appalachia came to Austin. Known as the cedar choppers, migrants from the mountains moved into the limestone hills of western Travis County. They kept to themselves, didn't like outsiders, and loved a good fight. But the city dwellers loved to hunt in the hills. Hunting their game and shooting guns in their hills didn't sit well with the cedar choppers. Finally, dogs started getting shot. When one cedar chopper was brought to trial, we'd see who had the bigger claim to Travis County. Learn about the Travis County dog wars in the latest episode of Wise About Texas.
