Download or read book Texas Maker written by Eric M. Nishimoto and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-09-28 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Texas has many legendary heroes. Most people have never heard of one of them. But in his time, Collin McKinney was one of the most beloved, respected and honored statesman in the Lone Star State. Texas Maker is the story of McKinney, a humble yet steel-willed man who, through his long life spanning the American Revolution to the Civil War, helped guide Texas through independence, the formation of a republic, statehood, to the brink of the Civil War. He was one of five men tasked with drafting the Texas Declaration of Independence (and was honored with being presented the quill and inkwell that was used by all the declaration's signers), was responsible for the configuration of Texas counties, and quietly mentored and influenced generations of Texas leaders and citizens. All this during his seventies through nineties. Because in his younger years he was an Indian fighter, outfitter and guide, businessman and hunter on par with the likes of Davy Crockett, who sought out his friend McKinney on his way to the Alamo. To the people who settled Texas, there was a storied roll of legendary statesmen whom they honored: Houston, Travis, Austin, Bowie, Crockett... and McKinney.

Download or read book A Voice Undefeated written by Collin Raye and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Collin Raye's powerful, golden voice dazzled the country music scene in 1991 with his Number One hit single "Love, Me", country music listeners fell in love with one of the great voices of our time. A new star was rising, and Collin's success continued throughout the nineties with over eight million records sold. Raye's autobiography, A Voice Undefeated, gives readers a down-to-earth account of the author's personal and professional life. From his childhood in Arkansas and Texas through his days with the Wray Brothers Band in Oregon and Reno to his rise to international stardom, this book is both a journey to the top of the music world and an intimate diary of a soul that has suffered great professional and personal losses. Many who love Collin Raye, the successful country music artist, don't know much about Collin Raye, the man, and the many trials he has endured with faith and courage. Most recently his beloved nine-year-old granddaughter, Haley, died in 2010 from an undiagnosed neurological disease. Since Haley's death, Collin has become an advocate for the sick and disabled and has established the Haley Bell BlessŽd Chair Foundation to provide wheelchairs to families with special needs children. This is a remarkable, inspirational story told by the man who lived it. It is a story of faith, of struggle, of suffering, of profound love, and ultimately of triumph in the midst of tragedy. Includes 32 pages of color photos. Includes DVD of never-before-seen personal interview and three songs written by Collin, "Undefeated", "She's With Me", and "Give Me Jesus" that are intimate to his story. Ê

Download or read book The Peters Colony of Texas written by Seymour V. Connor and published by Texas State Historical Assn. This book was released on 2005 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Texas State Historical Association is pleased to partner with the Collin County Historical Society to make Seymour V. Connor's The Peters Colony of Texas available once again. This classic work of Texas history, long out of print, was praised by John H. Jenkins in Basic Texas Books as "the best study of one of the largest land grants in Texas history." The TSHA first published The Peters Colony of Texas in 1959. The Peters Colony, totaling 16,000 square miles of North Texas, now includes twenty-six counties. Jenkins called it "a masterpiece of weaving together the threads of an extremely difficult historical puzzle with only the meagerest of source materials." For many years the book, with its documentation of early migration to Texas, was available to the public only in noncirculating library collections and an occasional appearance on the rare book market. The TSHA and the Collin County Historical Society are pleased to offer a paperback edition of The Peters Colony of Texas to bring this significant work of Texas history back to public attention.
