Does Texas’s experience as a republic make it unique among the other states? In many ways, Texas was an “accidental republic” for nearly ten years, until Texans voted overwhelmingly in favor of annexation to the United States after winning independence from Mexico. Single Star of the West chronicles Texas’s efforts to maneuver through the pitfalls and hardships of creating and maintaining the “accidental republic.” The volume begins with the Texas Revolution and examines whether or not a true Texas identity emerged during the Republic era. Next, several contributors discuss how the Republic was defended by its army, navy, and the Texas Rangers. Individual chapters focus on the early founders of Texas—Sam Houston, Mirabeau B. Lamar, and Anson Jones—who were all exceptional men, but like all men, suffered from their own share of fears and faults. Texas’s efforts at diplomacy, and persistence and transformation in its economy, also receive careful analysis. Finally, social and cultural aspects of the Texas Republic receive coverage, with discussions of women, American Indians, African Americans, Tejanos, and religion. The contributors also focus on the extent that conditions in the republic attracted political and economic opportunists, some of whom achieved a remarkable degree of success. Single Star of the West also highlights how the Texas Republic was established on American political ideology. With the majority of the white settlers coming from the United States, this will not surprise many scholars of the era. In some cases, the Texans successfully adopted American political and economic ideology to their needs, while other times they failed miserably.

Let’s Cross Before Dark... A History of the Ferries, Fords and River Crossings of Texas The state of Texas claims over 12,000 named rivers and streams stretching approximately 80,000 linear miles within its boundaries. In this book, Bill Winsor identifies and locates over 550 named river crossings within the state that once served as vital destinations for Native Americans, European explorers, and Mexican and American soldiers and colonists. Winsor has catalogued their origins and histories. Included in the work are maps of major rivers and their crossings as well as select images of early ferry operations of Texas. In addition to an alpha index of the crossings, the 625-page book presents an in-depth examination of the roles principal rivers and their crossings assumed in the framing of Texas history. Each of its fourteen chapters explores the founding of these various sites and the characters that brought them to life. This information, under one cover, presents an incomparable resource for future generations to better understand and appreciate the historical relevance of these vanishing theaters of history.

There's treasure buried beneath Texas soil or stowed in caves covered over by stones. It might be the mother lode that's waiting to be uncovered or some Spanish pirate's chest of jewels and doubloons. Nearby a ghostly figure walks the dunes, or is it just an illusion brought on by the approaching dust storm? In this new mass market edition, J. Frank Dobie has collected accounts of some of the best known tales of booty hidden in Texas hill and dale as well as some eerie stories and the origins of Texas flowers, names, and streams. You will learn about "The Enchanted Rock in Llano County," "Lafitte's Treasure Vault," and "The Holy Spring of Father Margil at Nacogdoches." These lively stories reveal the love for adventure, independence, and mystery that has made Texas the state it is. And just as Dobie hoped, with these tales readers from all over can see the "richness of their own traditions." Dobie believed that worthwhile literature about this region had to be derived from an understanding of its life, lore, and history. Legends of Texas indirectly led to the founding of the Texas Folklore Society, the nation's second oldest folklore organization.

For the first time, the true story of "The Yellow Rose of Texas" is told in full, revealing a host of new insights and perspectives on one of America's most popular stories. For generations, the Yellow Rose of Texas has been one of America's most popular western myths, growing larger over time and little resembling the truth of what happened on April 21, 1836, at the battle of San Jacinto, where a new Texas Republic won its independence. The woman who has been popularly connected to the story was an ordinary but also quite remarkable free black woman from the North, Emily D. West. This work reconstructs her experience, places it in full context and explores the evolution of a most fanciful myth.

Presentamos, AVANCE DE LAS FORTALEZAS ESPIRITUALES, un libro que fue publicado para ayudar al Cuerpo de Cristo a ser vencedores. Hay varios momentos en nuestras vidas en los que somos propensos y susceptibles a ser heridos. Hay momentos en que la tragedia ocurre sin previo aviso, sin precaución o sin una alarma que nos indique que hay una emergencia pendiente. En tiempos como estos somos vulnerables en nuestra mente y en nuestras emociones. Comenzamos a construir muros y fortalezas que nos fortalecen dentro de nosotros mismos, alejando a los demás de nosotros y a nosotros de los demás. Esto sucede porque hay un punto que parece que no puedes superar. Hay un dolor que parece que no puedes dejar ir. En última instancia, todas las relaciones que nos rodean se vuelven cansadas y disfuncionales. Pero es hora de declarar: "¡Avance!" Bill Vincent ha sido utilizado por Dios para ayudar a liberar a la gente. Ha ayudado a traer liberación a más de mil personas que han sido liberadas. Se sentirá alentado por la interpretación de Bill Vincent en este poderoso libro AVANCE DE LAS FORTALEZAS ESPIRITUALES.

Este libro de poemas es una verdadera inspiracion del Espiritu Santo, y a traves de estas reflexiones te daras cuenta de que es el mismo Jesucristo conversando con tu alma y todo tu ser. Porque, ?cuantos medios usa Dios para llamar tu atencion? Tal vez miles, pero en este viaje por la lectura de cada poema, tocara las cuerdas mas sensibles de tu propio corazon. Te animo a leer este libro: Yo no queria escribir esto, pero Dios insistio. Despues de cada palabra leida te daras cuenta de que tu tambien te identificaras con alguno de estos temas y agradeceras que el Creador te conozca como el hijo formado por sus manos. Nunca te sientas solo ni desanimado, y preguntale al Senor cuales notas o parrafos son para ti.

People talk about pivotal moments--points in time in their lives about which their memories seem to revolve. There is life before the event and life after it. And the two sides of life are never the same. Pivotal moments become like dividers in a folder. The date of the point is usually not so important; the event or the person is what makes the difference. Life is forever altered. And if we are very lucky, after a pivotal moment, we understand life in general a little better and ourselves even more. The stories you will read here are about a boy who became a man. Stories of life--the good and not so good, but all of them were awesome. As we go, it becomes clear that the search for truth never ends, and freedom comes a little at a time, sometimes with great difficulty. Always remember, though, that it is the journey in search of truth that sets you free; a journey filled with pivotal points, moments, and people. If these stories cause you to remember--even travel back in time--to a happy or sad time where you again see a special person or place, just remember that smiles and laughs and tears are free. They are all actually good for you. So come and read. Take this pivotal journey with me, and remember that you are on a journey too. Enjoy all of it because life is awesome.
