Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beginnings of Texas, 1684-1718 Texas was for about a century an organized province of Mexico, its affairs were administered by governors appointed by the viceroys of Mexico, and it was in all respects an integral part of Mexico. For this reason its history for more than a hundred years is wrapped up with that of other Mexican states; nor does it differ in many respects from the history of its neighbors across the Rio Grande. A history of the north Mexican states must include a history of Texas, and a history of Texas in some detail can but be considered an elaboration of the history of a territory that for a long time formed a part of a larger whole.

This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Opening of Texas to Foreign Settlement, 1801-1821 However, recent investigation in the Spanish sources has proved that the colonizing activities Of the period were vastly more than the feeble reaction against foreign aggres sion of the periods more familiar to the student Of Texas history. In fact the records show that, although the Span iards were unable to induce any considerable number Of native immigrants to settle in the wilds of Texas and at tempt to subdue the Indians, there was a splendid effort towards developing the country by the settlement of vassals from Louisiana and Mexico; that a very creditable begin ning was made; that lack Of resources, differences Of opinion among authorities, and a combination Of enemies soon brought a temporary lull, followed immediately thereafter by renewed activity; and that, while most Of the material gains were finally l-ost altogether, the way was at last pre pared for its development by the North Americans. The period Of anglo-american colonization cannot, there fore, be understood without a knowledge Of the events Of those years, since it was during this time that practically all the foundations for future development were laid, the diverse plans of the Spanish authorities united, and their feeble hopes Of defending and developing the region hard ened into a firm purpose. Indeed, by their determined stand at the beginning Of the century, they postponed the loss Of Texas for some years; though at the same time they unwittingly prepared an ideal soil for the planting Of Austin's colony Of nominal Spanish vassals, but, in reality, Of true liberty-loving, home-seeking American frontiersmen who - due largely to the triumph of the movement for inde pendence - were to change the whole history Of Texas.

Download or read book A History of the American People written by Paul Johnson and published by Harper. This book was released on 1998-02-17 with total page 1104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The creation of the United States of America is the greatest of all human adventures," begins Paul Johnson's remarkable new American history. "No other national story holds such tremendous lessons, for the American people themselves and for the rest of mankind." Johnson's history is a reinterpretation of American history from the first settlements to the Clinton administration. It covers every aspect of U.S. history--politics; business and economics; art, literature and science; society and customs; complex traditions and religious beliefs. The story is told in terms of the men and women who shaped and led the nation and the ordinary people who collectively created its unique character. Wherever possible, letters, diaries, and recorded conversations are used to ensure a sense of actuality. "The book has new and often trenchant things to say about every aspect and period of America's past," says Johnson, "and I do not seek, as some historians do, to conceal my opinions." Johnson's history presents John Winthrop, Roger Williams, Anne Hutchinson, Cotton Mather, Franklin, Tom Paine, Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Hamilton, and Madison from a fresh perspective. It emphasizes the role of religion in American history and how early America was linked to England's history and culture and includes incisive portraits of Andrew Jackson, Chief Justice Marshall, Clay, Lincoln, and Jefferson Davis. Johnson shows how Grover Cleveland and Teddy Roosevelt ushered in the age of big business and industry and how Woodrow Wilson revolutionized the government's role. He offers new views of Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover and of Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal and his role as commander in chief during World War II. An examination of the unforeseen greatness of Harry Truman and reassessments of Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Reagan, and Bush follow. "Compulsively readable," said Foreign Affairs of Johnson's unique narrative skills and sharp profiles of people. This is an in-depth portrait of a great people, from their fragile origins through their struggles for independence and nationhood, their heroic efforts and sacrifices to deal with the `organic sin' of slavery and the preservation of the Union to its explosive economic growth and emergence as a world power and its sole superpower. Johnson discusses such contemporary topics as the politics of racism, education, Vietnam, the power of the press, political correctness, the growth of litigation, and the rising influence of women. He sees Americans as a problem-solving people and the story of America as "essentially one of difficulties being overcome by intelligence and skill, by faith and strength of purpose, by courage and persistence...Looking back on its past, and forward to its future, the auguries are that it will not disappoint humanity." This challenging narrative and interpretation of American history by the author of many distinguished historical works is sometimes controversial and always provocative. Johnson's views of individuals, events, themes, and issues are original, critical, and admiring, for he is, above all, a strong believer in the history and the destiny of the American people.
