Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Times in Texas It is due to our colored citizens to say, that in depicting the character of Cudjo, I had no intention whatever to ridi cule or cast a slur upon them. I have merely attempted to describe a type of the race common amongst them in ante bellum days, and which in all probability would have been as common among any other race of people, if like them they had been for so long a time subjected to the demoral izing influences of ignorance and a degrading servitude. Now that they have been liberated by the arbitrament of the sword, and can avail themselves of all their rights as free citizens of our common country, I hope (and believe from the advances they have already made) that the time will soon come when they will place themselves upon a level with those who enjoyed all the advantages of freedom whilst they were in a state of slavery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Pioneer Days in Texas Friends, early pioneers and settlers and a few remaining schoolmates of our log cabin school days: I write these lines in commemoration of the days of long ago; the days that were spent in preparation for the glorious results which have come to Texas and her people. The younger gen eration cannot know nor understand the dangers, nor the inconveniences, that beset us in the early days; neither can they comprehend how tedious was the slow and labored journeys we had to make to go from place to place. Now it is an easy task to travel two or three hundred miles a day, and at little cost, but in those days when we had to pick our way through vast country expanses and find our road the best we could as we went along, it was a tedious and expensive journey, both because of expenditure of energy and of means as well.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Crittenden Duval (1816-1897) was an American writer of Texas literature. He has been noted as being the first Texas man of letters[1] and was dubbed the "Father of Texas Literature" by J. Frank Dobie.[2] His Early Times in Texas was initially published serially in 1867 in Burke's Weekly (Macon, Georgia) and was finally published in book form in 1892. The story, which became a Texas classic, recounted Duval's escape from the Goliad Massacre, in which his own brother Burr H. Duval was killed, as well as other tales. Another brother, Thomas Howard DuVal, was a distinguished Texas judge. The men's father, William Pope Duval, was a long-time Territorial Governor of Florida.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rodriguez Memoirs of Early Texas Y earliest recollection is when I was a boy about six years old. One evening I was coming with my father and mother up Soledad Street, where the Kampmann Building is now, and as we got a little further up the street, we were stopped by a sentry and there were other soldiers there and we saw some breastworks there. General Cos, the Mexican general, my father told me, was in possession of the town. We went a little further down where the present corner of Travis and Soledad Street is. We crossed a ditch on a plank and went up Soledad Street to see my uncle, Jose Olivarri. I heard a great deal of shooting towards the Plaza and my father said that General Burleson of the Texas Army was trying to capture the city. The next day General Cos capitulated and was allowed to take his arms and leave the city. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A New History of Texas Classic Reprint written by Edward Stiff and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New History of Texas The great and increasing emigration to Texas, taken in connection with her present position, former history and prospective career, were the primary causes which induced the author to compile a volume, entitled the History of Texas, yet, in doing so, he has embodied other and dissimilar information, as well as such as will safely conduct emigrants to favorable localities, and in a cheap way acquaint them with things necessary to be known - and he has supplied such data as will enable those thinking of a removal, to knowingly decide if it is expedient to seek a home in the new Republic or not. Desiring at all times to pursue the quiet and retired walks of private life, the author of the following work would not have made his travels in Texas the leading subject of a publication, had not her vast and luxuriant plains and other more romantic scenery, first suggested the idea - an idea that has grown in strength every day, since the effect of combined causes, not the least among which may be mentioned the fact of the entire absence of any work on the subject, from which can be extracted such information as comes home to the every day pursuits of men, or one that has been written with that independence of thought, and strict impartiality, which should ever be the aim and end of the Historian who aspires to an enduring and honorable fame, when he shall sleep with his Fathers.
