1935 - A Very Wet Year in Texas and I don’t mean because prohibition had ended, but there were 3 major floods that ravaged the state.They say that April showers bring May flowers and while that is true, in Texas too many April showers can be an indication of floods to come and that was especially true in the year 1935. Central and South-Central Texas experienced heavy rains that Spring which greatly affected Austin, San Antonio and lesser cities like San Marcos, Junction, Uvalde and

1900 – The Galveston HurricaneThe city of Galveston sits on Galveston Island which is two miles offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. The island is only about 50 miles from Houston, and it is a part of what are called the barrier islands. The islands sit between the mainland of Texas and the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. As such, they often bear the brunt of any storm that arises in the Gulf. Galveston has a natural harbor and in the early days of Texas was regarded as the best Gulf port site between

The Hidden History of Texas ·

2025/07/08

That's the question. Was Mirabeau Buonaparte Lamar, a great Texas leader or a terrible human being? And are the two ideas necessarily incompatible? Can a person be a terrible human being and still be considered a great leader? Who was Mirabeau Buonaparte Lamar?He was the 2nd president of the Republic of Texas and served from 1838 until 1841. His tenure stands out, at least to me, for two totally contradictory issues. On one hand he absolutely despised the indigenous peoples of Texas and on the

I’ll talk about the reasons for the missions, how many were established, and some of the good and the bad that took place in and around the missions. Spanish explorers operated under the philosophy of the three G’s, God, Gold, and Glory, the Spanish missions in Texas are a direct result of that philosophy. How did that come about?

The people Columbus encountered when he first reached the shores of the continent where misnamed, because Columbus thought he had reached India and as we know, he was wrong.
