      My great uncle is still alive too. He’s about 80. Family lore is, my great great grandfather McFadden was the county hangman. He was shot in the back while inside the family dairy barn. Which I believe still stands. If you would like to talk to my dad, uncle, and great uncle I’m sure there’s plenty of unsung history you would love to hear.

    Ronneby 'vierundneunzig' Hello Fredrik MALMBERG I am of the opinion that work can begin on Swordsmanship Multiplayer, not with TPS reports, but with a TPH 'Third Person Hacker' SONDERHEFT. This would be the best season to begin, as FPS CLAN guides, Hockey SONDERHEFTE, Soccer SONDERHEFTE, & Basketball SONDERHEFTE have recently hit newsstands. I am in email correspondence with Gamer Jock & writer William King. This realm of sport & the book business seem to me as connected as they were in '94, when many significant decisions about Sword & Sorcery and Multiplayer were made. I am reachable here & also on business media. In my opinion, multiplayer and SONDERHEFT can effectively synchronize this system network of ours: Sword & Sorcery.

    Reference of the Sante Fe Expedition: The sympathy which exists in behalf of Texas at the south, looks to other objects than the mere defence of that country. Texas is desired as an appendage to the strength of the south. They wish it annexed to the union, that the balance of power may still be found on the feeble side of • Mason and Dixon's line: Once let the cry for succor be rung through the land and the annexation of Texas they imagine will be as easy as it is desirable. So reasons the south. Let the north reason otherwise. The Texians are not deserving of aid or sympathy The invasion of that country by Santa Anna, is not unprovoked but It is in a great measure justified, in retaliation for the Santa Fe expedition, which had for its avowed purpose the subjugation and pillage of Mexico. The Texians have provoked the assault, and now they must abide the consequences, unless a fool-hardy and absurd idea prevails, that we must succor these men, because Texas affords a refuge for outlaws and desperadoes for the whole continent of North America! Texas at all hazards, union or no union, must be had to be kept out! The Texas lot was the most bare faced high handed outraged ever recorded on the page of history, to which there is no legal or moral justification, and has no resemblance to anything we know of, save South Carolina nullification! -Phila.

    The meanness went all directions. My 2nd Great Grandfather, Captain Stephen Carter Ragan and family moved to Tyler TX, to escape the hostilities in Kansas City MO. In 1859. He joined the Army of Texas for a short time, however when Texas seceded, he formed a Calvary unit under Johnson. His company was comprised of family members, including nephews and cousins. They fought many battles throughout the south, including the siege of Vicksburg, Chickamauga, the battle of Atlanta and Mobile AL. He went on to be a two term State Senator in MO, and served as Undersheriff for KC MO for two terms. My family still has relatives in the Tyler area to this day. God Bless Texas!

    Actually there are a couple of reasons Molten Salt Reactors were not continued, in addition to the need for rapid development of Rickover's submarines. Nixon was apparently told he would not get funding for both the California project and the Oak Ridge MSR project. Because Nixon did not want to cut off the supplies of Plutonium for thermonuclear weapons primaries, he chose fast breeders as the one to fund. And, of course, being a Californian as well as being pressured by a Californian politician, the Oak Ridge MSR research was shut down.

    The best-spent 90 minutes of this year for me so far! I was blown away when you brought up the name of Ernst Beseler as he is my great-grandfather! I had never heard this story about him and it still has my mind blown. Also, two other Beselers were among the massacred at Nueces River and have their names inscribed on the monument in Comfort.

    In Junior High in Brownwood (in the early '50's) we were given a clean map of the State outline and another one with the county outlines. The task was to draw in all 254 counties on the clean map. Things went well as you started in the panhandle and far West Texas but by the time you got to central and then East Texas the remaining area bore no resemblance to the needed space!
