When I was a teenager, I can remember my grandma telling me the story
about the small town of Pickwick. Pickwick was done away with because
the dam was going to be built. She was a native of Palo Pinto County.
My grandpa, Lon L. Mason, grew up in Palo Pinto, Texas. She and I had
many conversations about history while eating her Teacakes. Try the
recipe, and maybe, you can remember a story or two to tell.
