Gray and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reader will probably feel a greater interest in perusing the following pages than would have if the regions to which they had not been recently overrun by war The Visit to Texas was made during a period of profound peace when the traveler had no enemy to dread and could lie down in any grove in peace and security I had time to observe at leisure the face of nature the manners and circumstances of the inhabitants and to learn facts and opinions which could have been obtained in a state of general excitement and danger as has recently occurred A stranger visiting Texas since the commencement of the late hostilities could not be expected to form a correct idea of its condition in times of peace and prosperity I would not be very likely to meet with such information as the most experienced and intelligent of the inhabitants could give for these have been deeply engaged in public affairs and indeed much of their time absent from home I would have found agriculture and other kinds of business interrupted and in many instances habitations and estates totally deserted At the same time a regard for his own safety would have naturally prevented him from attending to those objects and incidents which enliven a journey and become agreeably assoc ciated with facts worthy of recollection On the contrary if a person who had eleven traversed that country during a period of public tranquility enjoyed its natural beauties admired the vast results of human enterprise and partaken of the hospitality which awaited every visitor had revisited it within the few past months he would have 4 have found a deep and painful interest in comparing past with present times and the better understood the circumstances of war from his acquaintance with scenes of peace This volume will present a brief history of the late hostilities in Texas which will not be placed at the beginning but at the close of the volume for the reader may be supposed to be in the condition in which the author was when about to enter the country for the first time and to need such information concerning it as was then presented to his view Some alterations have been made since the first edition in the narrative but not such as materially to change its plan The Appendix however is wholly new and contains a particular account of the battle of Salado nearly as communicated verbally by one of the soldiers engaged in it as it well illustrates the nature of warfare in that country and being the first engagement had much influence on the contest.

This book was released on 2010-06-28 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive biography of the legendary Empresario who colonized Texas for the Mexican government before leading the Texas Revolution. First published in 1925, The Life of Stephen F. Austin remains one of the finest works of Texas biography. An historian at the University of Texas, Eugene C. Barker spent nearly twenty-five years researching and writing this magisterial narrative, combining impeccable academic standards with engaging and lively prose. The son of Moses Austin, who received an empresario grant from Spain to settle Texas, Stephen took the mantle and began settling the region for the newly independent state of Mexico. He sold parcels of land to families of Anglo-Americans who later became known as the Old Three Hundred. When this growing Anglo community rebelled against the Mexican government, Austin led volunteer forces to victory at the Siege of Bexar and later served as Secretary of State for the Republic of Texas under President Houston.

Download or read book Mary Austin Holley written by Mary Austin Holley and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 1965 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mary Austin Holley (1784–1846), a cousin of Stephen F. Austin, journeyed to Texas on three separate occasions. Her first visit, in 1831, resulted in the publication of her book, Texas. Her second and third trips, in 1835 and 1837, were depicted in her diary. This witty, observant, and highly perceptive woman captured the infant Texas in her journal—the Mexican state moving toward rebellion and the new Republic, dynamic and struggling with a great destiny. The Holley diary is an important insight into the social and political history of early Texas.
