Excerpt from A New History of Texas The great and increasing emigration to Texas, taken in connection with her present position, former history and prospective career, were the primary causes which induced the author to compile a volume, entitled the History of Texas, yet, in doing so, he has embodied other and dissimilar information, as well as such as will safely conduct emigrants to favorable localities, and in a cheap way acquaint them with things necessary to be known - and he has supplied such data as will enable those thinking of a removal, to knowingly decide if it is expedient to seek a home in the new Republic or not. Desiring at all times to pursue the quiet and retired walks of private life, the author of the following work would not have made his travels in Texas the leading subject of a publication, had not her vast and luxuriant plains and other more romantic scenery, first suggested the idea - an idea that has grown in strength every day, since the effect of combined causes, not the least among which may be mentioned the fact of the entire absence of any work on the subject, from which can be extracted such information as comes home to the every day pursuits of men, or one that has been written with that independence of thought, and strict impartiality, which should ever be the aim and end of the Historian who aspires to an enduring and honorable fame, when he shall sleep with his Fathers.

A School History of Texas (Classic Reprint) available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Excerpt from A School History of Texas This book aims to present in form sufficiently simple for young readers the essential facts of the history of Texas. To bring it within the grasp of fifth and sixth grade pupils and to make it a thoroughly useful tool in the hands of the teacher, we have steadily sought to give it the qualities of accuracy, directness, and fairness. We believe that our sympathetic reverence for the history of our native state, our knowledge of the subject, and our experience as teachers in the public schools and colleges of Texas have enabled us to accomplish this end with measurable success. We have written only what is important to an understanding of the making of Texas, and we have shown at each step why it is important, so that the pupil should be in no doubt at any time of the significance of what he reads. The illustrations have been chosen with a view to instruct as well as to entertain children; geographical questions are illustrated by numerous maps; and at the end of each chapter are a list of questions, designed to emphasize the principal points of the chapter, and a list of simple and interesting reading which may be used to supplement the text.

Under Six Flags, the Story of Texas (Classic Reprint) available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Excerpt from Under Six Flags, the Story of Texas But the history of Texas is far more than a romantic legend. It is a record of bold conceptions and bolder deeds the story of the discoverer penetrating unknown wildernesses; of the pioneer matching his strength against the savage of the colo nist struggling for his freedom and his rights. It is the chronicle of the birth of a people; the history of the rise and progress of a great State. I have tried in these simple readings so to arrange the salient points of a drama of two centuries as to present a consistent whole. And I shall be happy if I shall succeed in awakening in the reader somewhat of the interest in Texas history which has inspired this work.

The History of Texas (Classic Reprint) available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Excerpt from The History of Texas I was born on the fertile banks of the river Tay, in Scotland, North Britain; that classic land of science and renown, where a Wallace fought, a Knox preached, and a Scott wrote, a country only equal ed in its beauty by its salubrity; adorned by every improvement in modern husbandry, through that persevering spirit which animates an industrious and comparatively, with the rest of Europe, a free and consequently happy people. Lying on the confines of an East ern world, where, by turns, despotism and anarchy reign the sym pathetic feelings of sorrow will sometimes predominate in their breasts: still as often are their hearts rejoiced within them, to think that they have, by the interposition of Providence, a counterpoise in the west ern hemisphere; accelerated by that free and uninterrupted intercourse which they have with the highly gifted and enlightened inhabitants thereof, through the influence of that all-powerful and glorious engine in the hands of every republican government a free and fearless press which not only visits the palaces of the great, but enters with its all-inspiring beams into the meanest hovel of the peasant arous ing him to make the inquiry, Why this mighty difference? I say it! And made it my study how I should become a participator of such a blessed asylum, as God had provided for the poor and oppressed of every other country.
