  in the 1850s, and Uvalde County was established in 1856; a
  rough-and-tumble frontier area during and after the Civil War,

  based on agribusiness, including farming and the raising of
  livestock such as cattle, sheep, and goats; and
         WHEREAS, Four spring-fed rivers, the Nueces, Leona,
  Sabinal, and Frio, have cut ruggedly beautiful canyons through
  the region's rolling hills, and the county draws hunters from

  turkeys; additionally, swimmers, campers, bird-watchers, and
  other outdoor enthusiasts may enjoy the activities of the scenic
  Garner State Park and Cooks Slough Sanctuary and Nature Park; and
