About Burgess' Water Hole
This water hole near Alpine, Texas, was named San Lorenzo in 1684 by explorer Juan Dominguez de Mendoza and later called Charco Alzate for an Apache chieftain. It was renamed for John W. Burgess, a pioneer freighter who outwitted Apache raiders there. The site lay along the emigrant road to California that passed through Chihuahua.
