  • Independence Trail Region, Known As the “Cradle of Texas Liberty,” Comprises a 28-County Area Stretching More Than 200 Miles from San Antonio to Galveston
    n the saga of Texas history, no era is more distinctive or accented by epic events than Texas’ struggle for independence and its years as a sovereign republic. During the early 1800s, Spain enacted policies to fend off the encroachment of European rivals into its New World territories west of Louisiana. I As a last-ditch defense of what’s now Texas, the Spanish Crown allowed immigrants from the U.S. to settle between the Trinity and Guadalupe rivers. The first settlers were the Old Three Hundred families who established Stephen F. Austin’s initial colony. Lured by land as cheap as four cents per acre, homesteaders came to Texas, first in a trickle, then a flood. In 1821, sovereignty shifted when Mexico won independence from Spain, but Anglo-American immigrants soon outnumbered Tejanos (Mexican-Texans). Gen. Antonio López de Santa Anna seized control of Mexico in 1833 and gripped the country with ironhanded rule. By 1835, the dictator tried to stop immigration to Texas, limit settlers’ weapons, impose high tariffs and abolish slavery — changes resisted by most Texans. Texas The Independence ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Trail ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ On March 2, 1836, after more than a year of conclaves, failed negotiations and a few armed conflicts, citizen delegates met at what’s now Washington-on-the-Brazos and declared Texas independent. They adopted a constitution and voted to raise an army under Gen. Sam Houston. TEXAS STATE LIBRARY AND ARCHIVES Gen. Sam Houston THC The San Jacinto Monument towers over the battlefield where Texas forces defeated the Mexican Army. TEXAS HISTORICAL COMMISSION Four days later, the Alamo fell to Santa Anna.

  • Beyond the Battleground: the Competing Legacies of San Jacinto by James E
    Beyond The Battleground: The Competing Legacies Of San Jacinto BY JAMES E. CRISP you were to ask the average Houstonian to describe the legacy of the Battle of I f San Jacinto, the answer might well be: “Look around you!” In other words, all that Houston is today – all of the political and economic development of Texas and the American Southwest through the last 171 years – is sometimes attributed to the outcome of the test of arms and courage on that pivotal day of April 21, 1836. But put aside for a moment the claim of the battle’s “decisiveness.” It is, after all, a very dubious proposition that a different outcome on that single day would have permanently put a stop to the expansion of the United States across the territories of northern Mexico, given the growing disparity in power and population between Mexico and the United States in the mid-nineteenth century. Rather than imagining what might have been had Santa Anna won the contest that day, think instead about another kind of “legacy.” How does this event from the distant past shape the way we think about ourselves and our world today? 6010845_UofH_Text.indd 12 10/13/10 6:12:34 AM Henry A.

  • Lights and Shadows in Texas Preservation. the Case Of
    LIGHTS AND SHADOWS IN TEXAS PRESERVATION: THE CASE OF WASHINGTON-ON-THE-BRAZOS STATE HISTORICAL PARK MIGUEL ÁNGEL LÓPEZ TRUJILLO Universidad de Alcalá (Resumen) Los llamados "parques históricos" son una de las entidades más interesantes creadas en Estados Unidos para proteger el patrimonio histórico. Antes que zonas recreativas, estos lugares son en realidad "reservas" en las que los norteamericanos, al igual que hicieron con los pueblos indígenas, han ido apartando del desarrollo del resto de la. sociedad aquellos terrenos en los que tuvieron lugar importantes hechos del pasado o en los que quedaban vestigios materiales de acontecimientos o construcciones históricas. Este fue el caso de Washington-on-the-Brazos, antigua capital del estado de Texas y ciudad donde en 1836 los texanos firmaron su Declaración de Independencia de Méjico. En 1915, la administración estatal estableció allí uno de los primeros parques históricos de Texas, y desde entonces burócratas y ciudadanos comunes han luchado por hacer del mismo un lugar de importancia equivalente al hecho histórico que allí sucedió. El éxito de estas iniciativas ha sido discreto, y por eso el parque dista mucho de ser en la actualidad un lugar popular. Aún así, Washington-on-the-Brazos State Historical Park es, sin duda, un instrumento correcto y muy digno para difundir entre los texanos la crónica del origen de su estado. La historia de este parque ilustra magníficamente como la protección e interpretación del patrimonio histórico ha evolucionado en Texas y Estados Unidos durante el siglo XX. On March 2, 1836, the small and ramshackle town of Washington in Washington County entered history when fifty-two representatives of the largest settlements in Texas huddled inside an unfinished building on the banks of the Brazos River to declare independence from México, write a new constitution which established the Republic of Texas, and organized an ad interim govemment.
