Texas History

Few Americans or Texans realize that not only was David Crockett a Texas hero, and a Tennessee politician, and a frontier adventurer, he was also an author. He's not given much credit in history for his books, some published posthumously. TGS is collecting and putting back in print this Texas Revolution hero's books.

This book has been purposely given a sub-title, in order that the peculiar position of the Indian, in 1861, may be brought out in strong relief. He was enough inside the American Union to have something to say about secession and enough outside of it to be approached diplomatically. It is well to note, indeed, that Albert Pike negotiated the several Indian treaties that bound the Indian nations in an alliance with the seceded states, under the authority of the Confederate State Department

How a Texas Traitor sacrificed his honor and sold his state to Rockefeller's Standard Oil.

Texans seldom gives the credit due the Hispanic efforts, sacrifice, and influence in gaining Texas Independence, without which, the Texas Revolution would probably have failed. This biography is one such effort to restore the Hispanic Heros of Texas to their proper prominence.

Slavery is the first thing people point to when talking about the War of Northern Tyranny against the South. While slavery was one of the causes, the move to secession was due to a multitude of unconstitutional acts of the US against the South.

The US government cannot say it was not aware of the possible destruction cause by Katrina, Rita, and Ike... they were told in vivid detail in 1900, in Galveston, Texas.

History ignores the FACT that the Southern states were legally and constitutionally in the right. Though slavery was morally wrong, the North and the Republican party had legal avenues to change the constitution, but instead chose war. The fascist boot of the Republican Party remains a milestone around the neck of freedom.
