History

• Of all the indian tribes that have lived in Texas
  the Jumanos are the most mysterious.In 1536 they
  welcomed the Spanish traders, Cabeza de Vaca and
  his three companions, the first Europeans to
  travel west along the Gulf Coast into the
  interior of North America. These Spaniards
  reported that the Jumanos were very friendly and
  offered to be their guides into the plains.
  Before long, the Jumanos had acquired horses from
  the Spaniards and became busy traders.The Jumano
  people gradually disappeared during the 1700s as
  they blended with other Indian groups.
