      A LOT, yes I knew most of this story. However, it is the smaller details about Stephen F. Austin’s first settlement, the fork in the road, and the interviews that make the difference. My kids are now the second generation of Texas in my family, and I think it’s time for an independence road trip (sorry Chet, gonna have to be more than a “day trip”) to experience all the important sites both BIG and small.

      Hey Chet and crew big fan for years now. Thanks for all you do!! I didn't know for one that the spark was the government wanting cannon back from militia just like the shot heard round the world. Your show always entertains and cheers me up when I need it. It especially cheers me up now to see the good life is still out there. That really means a lot to us that are not fortunate enough to be in the great state of Texas at this time. Sincerely the reading from the declaration of independence was very poignant right about now. Let Texas be a beacon for the rest of the country of welfare and happiness! "We WON'T be quiet now!" Haven't been down that way for a while now. Hopefully I can cure that soon. I love it in the lone star state! Thanks again 'pard And via con Dios to you!

Texas indepence wasn't won from mexico, that was just politics. We gained our independence from the comanche.

    1:56 "The Settlement of Austin's Colony or The Log Cabin" (1875 ) - Stephen F. Austin is shown rallying his colonists against the Karankawa Indians around 1824, as an unnamed scout comes to the door to sound the alarm. The others include Land Commissioner Baron de Bastrop on the left, Secretary of the Colony Samuel L. Williams on the top right, Chief Scout Randolph Foster - (My Uncle Ran Foster) in front of Williams, Austin's Cook Simon at the window, and Surveyor Horatio Chriesman at Austin's feet. The original Oil Painting is by Henry McArdle, along with the first Dawn at the Alamo and they both hang in the Texas State Capitol in Austin, TX. .

    1:56 - "My Uncle Ran Foster" - (Pictured far right center). He was Stephen F. Austin's Lead Scout and personal friend. His father, John Foster is my 3rd G.G. Father and along with his other son Isaac, were a part of Austin's (Old 300 Colonist) that settled Texas. If not for Stephen F. Austin; Texas, as we know it today might not exist. John later established the Foster community school in Foster, TX. and the Foster High School in Fort Bend County, TX. was named after him and his son Randolph, including several historical markers. Stephen F. Austin and Randolph Foster are in an Oil Painting by Henry McArdle which hangs in the Texas State Capitol in Austin, TX. . (4:22) - Is that my "Uncle Ran" in his buckskin outfit ? My mother's lineage has blessed me with many historical & patriotic people that migrated from descendants of aristocrats to royals from the old country of England. From the Foster's - the Jones' - the Smith's and the Wotton's/Wootton's , which the latter also settled Brazos Co., TX. (back then it was Washington Co.) with S.F. Austin. My 2nd G.G. Father John H. Jones settled Boonville, TX. with Mordecai Boone, nephew of Daniel Boone. My 8th G.G. Mother Elizabeth (Townley) Smith's sister, Mary (Townley) Warner was the 2nd G.G. Mother of George Washington. Thanks for the Great Video, as it makes me So Proud of what my family had accomplished.

    Great episode! As only a 3rd generation Texan I was so proud when doing genealogical research to find a relative who died at the battle of Goliad (he was part of the San Antonio Greys) and 2 who were Austin's "Old Three Hundred". They were eventually moved and buried at the Capitol cemetery in Austin. Pettus, Texas is named after one of them. It brought distant ancestors to become real life heroes to me and never prouder to be a Texan.

    According to some old letters of co respondents of a Colonel Sherman and Captain Jesse W Billingsley in Houstons army, Houston wanted to retreat to the US to gather reinforcements, the Texiens all ready to take Santa Anna on, were angry with him, so the majority of officers got together behind Houstons back and were determined to head to San Jacinto regardless of Houstons orders. Houston had cought wind and changed plans to stay with the army. According to the corespondence, Jesse W Billingsley was the one to lead the charge and coin the battle cry "Remember the Alamo, Remember Goliad!" In the charge. There is a museum in San Jacinto with more information.

      Definitely not, that common sewer to which all the filth of the slave states run too, the home of the murderer and thief, a territory filched from Mexico and occupied against the constitution and the laws of nations, against the interest of many of our northern states like Illinois and New York who declared to rather not see Texas annexed as inexpedient and dangerous to the union as whole. Texas is occupied by the most lawless and uncivilized of races, and most have committed little to any to achieve our national independence like most of the northern states population who is descended from those who fought at bunker hill. Texas is just an appendage of the old sinners from Maryland , Virginia and the other southern slave states used as a tool to make a preponderance against the north and northern industry, read the anti Texas legion and let the “true American and lover of his country” determine the facts and matter related to Texas. Like Lincoln said himself in his spot resolutions, if the facts of the matter are otherwise, say so, if not, then I shall know you are wrong and in the guilty of this unjust war with Mexico.

      You do realize the Texas revolt was one of the darkest events ever recorded on the pages of history right, with no comparison? Even the dismemberment of Poland stands little in comparison since we fought a war with Mexico over slavery. Have you read any of the reviews of the Texas revolution like the anti Texas legion, the war with Mexico reviewed, or the taking of Naboths vineyard? I’ll attach this here and I’ll leave the rest to you to decide
      “King Ahab did not instigate the murder of Naboth, but he coveted and when the deed was done and jezebel told him of the death, he collected his reward, and while the mortal punishment was deferred, at length the heavenly prophecy was fulfilled, and the blood of king Ahab and jezebel was licked up by dogs in the place were Naboths blood was licked. The people of the United States cannot be said to have premeditated this great crime, yet by accepting the spoils, Texas California New Mexico ect, they are partakers in the iniquity and crime, and obnoxious to the future and certain punishment! “

      You know as well as I do, that Faneuil Hall has resounded with echoing applause of a denunciation of the Mexican war, as a murderous war-as a war against the free States as a war against freedom, against the negro, and against the interests of the workingman of this country-and as a means of extending that great evil and damning curse, negro slavery. The annexation of Texas was a conspiracy from beginning to end- a most deep and skillfully devised conspiracy-for the purpose of upholding and sustaining one of the darkest and foulest crimes ever committed by man. For my part, I would not care if, tomorrow, I should hear of the death of every man who engaged in that bloody war in Mexico, and that every man had met the fate he went there to perpetrate upon unoffending Mexicans.
