Hey, ¡Viva Texas! and all that, ya’all.
We have a marker like that on the wall at Hart House – the old farmhouse my mother restored, and that building wasn’t there in 1836, yet – but it was twenty years later.
Maybe we could get some more Comanches roaming the plains….
Today I watched a re-enactment of Plains Indian war dances.
I was really having to watch myself because I kept remembering that a former teacher, a Kiowa fellow, told us that Kiowa always went into battle butt naked.
Comanches probably did, too, if only to p.o. the Kiowa.
Well. I’ve been banned from the site where all the people who troll the homesteading sites go.
I didn’t even do anything! Well, okay, so I was planning on trolling them on the weekends when I should be shimmying beneath the porch to turn off the water. But still …
Gosh, if any of you come to Texas and visit the Alamo and really see what happened there, it will bring you to tears!!!
I have a Great-Uncle and Great-great Uncles that were at the battle at the Alamo from Tennessee. Sam had a lot of connections in TN!

Am I hysterical because that marker gave me a thrill????
Does 1846 count???
1846?
Alamo maybe?
Maybe the expulsion of Sam Houston? Mexican American Revolution?????
Obviously, I am not a Texan. The only thing I remember about the Alamo is something vague about coonskin caps and Fess Parker.
Sorry, my family got to Texas (Washington-on-the-Brazos) in 1846. That makes me a “Daughter of the Republic” :troll
