Specimen NotesObservation taken from email correspondence from David Riskin (TPWD) to Gary Garrett in response ot questions about sturgeon in the Rio Grande. David says: Seems to me I recounted this oral history to you in an e-mail with attribution and a drawing. I do NOT have that file any longer .... But, yes. I spoke with several elders who remembered netting the fishe in the Rio Grande in the EP/PN area. I do not recall dates or names any longer. Moreover, and sadly, everyone I knew who could assist in channeling these sources, now also are deceased. Thus we have a proto-gray category and you’ll just have to enter an anecdotal account based on my recollection of an account I forwarded to you some 2???. Oh my, decades hence? PS-- since there was presidio and mission at the Presidio del Norte, Guerrero, Coahuila, and since there are archives now at San Antonio, it is possible there may be accounts contained therein. I am certain that the San Antonio Missions NHP have an archivist. It may be worth a long shot. The Camino Real crossed there, the Presidio and garrison were there as we three missions – Bautista, Bernardo and San Antonio de Valero.
