Book Description
Excerpt from Centennial Oration of Gov. R. B. Hubbard, of Texas, Delivered at the National Exposition, Philadelphia, September 11, 1876: Texas; Her Area of Territory, Health and Its Evidence, Wealth and Population, School Endowments, Products, Internal Improvements, and Resources of Wealth The shackles of Spanish and Mexican despotism, Texas, more than forty years ago, burst asunder, and through the blood and storm of battle walked forth into the light of a new day - bearing on brow and bosom the scars of the conflict between the oppressed and the oppressor. Since that day her political history is known to the elder generations of these States, if not to the nations of the earth as well. It was a wonderful and heroic history, that of a deeply wronged people struggling against the treachery of the knave and the tyranny of the despot - ah unequal contest of fifty thousand against eight million of people - a contest waged by ragged sol diery in poverty and hunger - poor in purse, but rich in valor, and a forti tude and devotion which amid burning homes, rapine and plunder, was willing to die for their country rather than sue for dishonorable peace, or kiss the rod which smote them to the. Earth - a contest which bore upon its bosom, and to the front, the great, heroic names of Houston, and Rusk, and Lamar, and Wharton, and Sherman, and their confreres, who, like Cardigan at Balaklava, rode down to death and victory at San Jacinto. On that historic field - remembering Goliad and Alamo - independence was won and the Republic of Texas was born unto the free nations of the earth. For nearly seven years she maintained a separate nationality, and was so recognized by the great powers. Her struggle was not on so grand a theater as was that glorious seven years' revolution of our forefathers, nor was it illustrated by nobler fields than Bunker Hill and Saratoga or York town. Nor by a grander fortitude than that which stood by Washington and his army amid the snows of Valley Forge, stained by the blood of their naked feet.

Come to Texas
Author: Barbara J. RozekPublisher: Texas A&M University Press
ISBN: 1603447067

Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
"Come to Texas" urged countless advertisements, newspaper articles, and private letters in the late nineteenth century. Expansive acres lay fallow, ready to be turned to agricultural uses. Entrepreneurial Texans knew that drawing immigrants to those lands meant greater prosperity for the state as a whole and for each little community in it. They turned their hands to directing the stream of spatial mobility in American society to Texas. They told the "Texas story" to whoever would read it. In this book, Barbara Rozek documents their efforts, shedding light on the importance of their words in peopling the Lone Star State and on the optimism and hopes of the people who sought to draw others.Rozek traces the efforts first of the state government (until 1876) and then of private organizations, agencies, businesses, and individuals to entice people to Texas. The appeals, in whatever form, were to hope?hope for lower infant mortality rates, business and farming opportunities, education, marriage?and they reflected the hopes of those writing. Rozek states clearly that the number of words cannot be proven to be linked directly to the number of immigrants (Texas experienced a population increase of 672 percent between 1860 and 1920), but she demonstrates that understanding the effort is itself important.Using printed materials and private communications held in numerous archives as well as pictures of promotional materials, she shows the energy and enthusiasm with which Texans promoted their native or adopted home as the perfect home for others.Texas is indeed an immigrant state?perhaps by destiny; certainly, Rozek demonstrates, by design.
