Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Finances of the Texas Revolution Under these conditions, then, how were the Texans enabled to establish a government, maintain an army and accomplish their independence Mr. Henry M. Morfit declared to Secretary Forsyth that the means were derived principally from the sym pathy of their neighbors and friends in the United States and by loans upon the credit of the state, while Mr. Gouge, in his Fiscal History of Texas, ' somewhat facetiously remarks that the various expedients of governments for raising funds in such exigencies may be resolved into taxing, borrowing, begging, sell ing, and robbing and cheating, and that the Texans apparently determined to try all six. Before investigating this question it will be necessary to outline briefly the political changes in Texas during the revolution.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guy Raymond a Story of the Texas Revolution The dog whined in answer; then bristling his back, growled and barked furiously. The youth now began to look in earnest to find out the real cause of this unusual display of Rolla's anger. He walked around the tree and peered through the branches overhead. Suddenly he caught sight of two glaring balls, fully six inches apart, that looked savagely down upon him from a fork of the tree, high up, and concealed almost entirely by the foliage of a lateral limb.

Download or read book Sam Houston and the War of Independence in Texas Classic Reprint written by Alfred M. Williams and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-20 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sam Houston and the War of Independence in Texas The history of the War of Independence in Texas has been several times written. The most elaborate and valuable account is that of Henderson Yoakum, who had access to the original documents, and was familiar with many of the actors in the military and legislative history of the Republic of Texas. He is honest and accurate, and although later researches have corrected some errors, his volumes will remain the principal storehouse of information in regard to the events of the period. William Kennedy, a Scotchman and British consul at Galveston, preceded Yoakum, and his History of the Republic of Texas contains many original documents and much valuable information. Senator Henry G. Foote, of Mississippi, wrote his volumes on Texas and the Texans rather in the style of a controversial and oratorical pamphlet to favor annexation than a sober history, although they possess some value in the journals and accounts of participants in the events. Mr. H. H. Bancroft, with his customary industry and accuracy, has investi gated the history of Texas in American and Mexican sources, and published the results in his History of the North Mexican States and Texas. Rev. H. G. Thrall has given some useful statistical and other information in his Pictorial History of Texas. There are a considerable number of personal memoirs.

This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book The Annexation of Texas Classic Reprint written by Justin Harvey Smith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-09 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Annexation of Texas The footnotes cover all the statements of the text except a few matters of common knowledge, but of course a fact once proved is not proved again. To some readers the number of references will seem unnecessarily great, and so they appear to the author himself. But as almost every foot of the ground is controversial, the per centage that could safely be omitted is rather small, and the saving would hardly justify the abandonment of a complete and logical system for one of the opposite character. In order not to fill the page with annoying figures, the references - standing in the order of the statements they support - are grouped by paragraphs, and an indication of the bearing of the reference is given when this is not obvious. Naturally in some cases a citation confirms more than a single sentence, and it should be remembered, too, that for reasons of convenience the first page of a document is the one specified unless there is a particular occasion for doing otherwise. To carry such a body of figures with perfect accuracy through the processes of compiling, revising, copying and printing is extremely difficult, especially as the author's attention is liable to be diverted momen tarily from the mathematics to the meaning of the citation; but it can be said that unsparing pains have been taken to ensure correct ness, and that a trained historical worker has gone over the entire work of verification independently. While engaged on this investigation at the Public Record Office, London, the author was so fortunate as to have for neighbor Dr. Ephraim Douglass Adams, the fruit of whose researches, covering to a small extent the same ground as this volume, has. Recently been offered to the public. As it fell to the present writer in another place to view that monograph, British Interests and Activities in Texas, in the manner which it invited by describing itself as purely technical, he will only say here - though it does not need to be said - that anything coming from such a source deserves very care ful attention, and express the hope that all concerned with Texan history will read the book. One cannot help wishing that Professor Adams's investigations had extended to the Texan, Mexican and American archives. Mention must also be made of an interesting and valuable work by Dr. Jesse S. Reeves, entitled American Diplo macy nnder Tyler and Polk, based largely on documents which he as well as the present writer was permitted to examine at the Stateviii preface.

Download or read book Encyclopedia of the Alamo and the Texas Revolution written by Thom Hatch and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2016-03-24 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Remember the Alamo!" is a phrase that is woven into the American consciousness, but what do most people really remember about the Alamo? Much of the true story has been shrouded in myth for over 150 years. This comprehensive encyclopedia provides thorough coverage for people, places, events and issues spanning the pre-Revolution period and settlement of Texas by Americans to the forming of the Republic in 1836. When appropriate, a mini-chronology supplements the entry, placing the discussion in context. A day-by-day account details the thirteen day famous siege. Entries cover major players such as Santa Anna, Jim Bowie and David Crockett and provide biographies (from obscure sources, in some cases) of every Alamo defender killed in the battle. American and Mexican resources have been used to assure a well-rounded picture of often misunderstood events. Maps and an extensive bibliography complement the text.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from For the Liberty of Texas For the Liberty of Texas is a tale complete in itself, but it forms the first of a line of three volumes to be known under the general title of the Mexican War Series. Primarily the struggle of the Texans for freedom did not form a part of our war with Mexico, yet this struggle led up directly to the greater war to follow, and it is probably a fact that, had the people of Texas not at first accomplished their freedom, there would have been no war between the two larger republics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Historically, wars and revolutions have offered politically and socially disadvantaged people the opportunity to contribute to the nation (or cause) in exchange for future expanded rights. Although shorter than most conflicts, the Texas Revolution nonetheless profoundly affected not only the leaders and armies, but the survivors, especially women, who endured those tumultuous events and whose lives were altered by the accompanying political, social, and economic changes.

This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief History of the Union Labor Legislative Movement in Texas Besides, men now leaders in movement have confused ideas of its origin and early work, which is pardonable, as the pioneers left few records that are available and seldom made any kind of a report of what they had done. By getting information from men still living who were identified with the first formation and work of the legislative boards we are able to give a pretty straight story which we hope will clear up all misunderstanding. Knowledge of the perfection of our organization and its success has traveled beyond the borders of Texas inspiring organized wage-earners in other States to follow our example and copy our method of doing business. Encouraged by this it is hoped that by circulating this history in those States where no organized legislative movement now exists it might stimulate the union men therein to form active legislative boards.
