The election history was originally compiled by Lee Armstrong and the Office of the City Secretary. Unfortunately, records are sketchy and sometimes contradictory in the listings of officials during the first 10 years of incorporation. The list covering the first ten years, 1856 to 1866, has been compiled by comparison and combination of information obtained from: ● History of Dallas County by John Henry Brown (1887) ● Mayors of Dallas by John H. Cullom (1917) ● Dallas' First Hundred Years by George H. Santerre (1956) Listings on all other pages have been compiled from the official City Council Minutes of the City of Dallas. iii Mayor-Alderman 1856-1857 Election: Saturday, April 5, 1856 Votes Cast: 92 Minute Book: Unknown Mayor: Samuel B.

EAST TEXAS HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION II THE WAR AND PEACE PARTIES OF PRE-REVOLUTIONARY TEXAS, 1832-1835 by lodella D. Kite Although many people are conversant with the Texas Revolution and events leading to it, relatively little research has been published until recently on the War and Peace parties of 1832-1835. These two factions within the Anglo-American population of Texas helped to sway public opinion both for and against armed conflict in the crucial days leading to the revolution. The War and Peace parties cannot be defined easily because they were not established political parties. They were labels faT persons of opposing political dispositions. Both factions surfaced during the disturbances of 1832. Members of the War Party either participated in the disturbances or condoned them. The Peace Party, probably repre­ senting more Texans throughout the period, loudly criticized the agita­ tion.

  • From Journalist to Dallas Mayor to Clean Energy Consultant
    From Journalist to Dallas Mayor to Clean Energy Consultant Laura Miller has worked hard to build a well­known name for herself in Dallas, Texas. Miller has worked for almost every newspaper in the city of Dallas including The Dallas Morning News, the Dallas Times Herald, The Dallas Observer, D Magazine as well as newspapers outside of Texas, the New York Daily, and The Miami Herald She was born in Baltimore, but moved around in the northeast as a child. Miller said she gained her strong sense for outrage when she was 11 years old, after a man who had gone to take an estimate of the collection’s value stole her great grandfather’s stamp collection. After that incident, Laura Miller began to set a pathway that would lead her into her future success. She soon got her first job as a waitress at 14, an example of the hard work and dedication she has pursued throughout her life. During her high school years, Miller’s family settled in Stamford, Connecticut where she discovered her love for journalism and her passion. There she was part of the school’s literary review, newspaper, and yearbook. Her love of penmanship as a child was also a contributing factor in her pursuit toward a journalism career. After high school, Miller attended the University of Wisconsin­Madison where she majored in journalism. During her undergraduate she had journalism internships all over the country and was the campus correspondent for Time magazine and the Milwaukee Sentinel. As a young woman, Miller was picked as one of the top Ten College Women in Vogue Magazine.
