  • Hispanic Texans
    texas historical commission Hispanic texans Journey from e mpire to Democracy a GuiDe for h eritaGe travelers Hispanic, spanisH, spanisH american, mexican, mexican american, mexicano, Latino, Chicano, tejano— all have been valid terms for Texans who traced their roots to the Iberian Peninsula or Mexico. In the last 50 years, cultural identity has become even more complicated. The arrival of Cubans in the early 1960s, Puerto Ricans in the 1970s, and Central Americans in the 1980s has made for increasing diversity of the state’s Hispanic, or Latino, population. However, the Mexican branch of the Hispanic family, combining Native, European, and African elements, has left the deepest imprint on the Lone Star State. The state’s name—pronounced Tay-hahs in Spanish— derives from the old Spanish spelling of a Caddo word for friend. Since the state was named Tejas by the Spaniards, it’s not surprising that many of its most important geographic features and locations also have Spanish names. Major Texas waterways from the Sabine River to the Rio Grande were named, or renamed, by Spanish explorers and Franciscan missionaries. Although the story of Texas stretches back millennia into prehistory, its history begins with the arrival of Spanish in the last 50 years, conquistadors in the early 16th cultural identity century. Cabeza de Vaca and his has become even companions in the 1520s and more complicated. 1530s were followed by the expeditions of Coronado and De Soto in the early 1540s. In 1598, Juan de Oñate, on his way to conquer the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico, crossed the Rio Grande in the El Paso area.

  • Prince Regales Dallasites with Royal Knowledge of Texas Page 1 of 5
    Multi-Print Viewer Page 1 of 5 Prince regales Dallasites with royal knowledge of Texas DALLAS MORNING NEWS - Wednesday, MAY 22, 1991 Author: Alan Peppard: THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS (DAL) Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh must have boned up on the Battle of San Jacinto, the Alamo and the personal letters of Stephen F. Austin before he and his wife, Britain's Queen Elizabeth II, came to Texas. "Prince Philip is the most inquisitive and knowledgeable guy that I've ever met,' says Ted Strauss, husband of Mayor Annette Strauss. "I've lived here 66 years, and he asked me questions I didn't know the answers to.' Mr. Strauss reports that among the duke's brain-teasers was the question, "Why is it the Alamo? It's not the Dallas.' Louise Caldwell, president of the Dallas Historical Society, concurs with Mr. Strauss' assessment after sharing a table with the duke at Tuesday night's dinner for the royal couple at Fair Park's Hall of State. "I was sort of Price Philip's dinner partner,' says Mrs. Caldwell. "It was very hard to find anything that he didn't know more about than me . including Texas history.' Joining the royal couple at the Hall of State dinner commemorating the 150th anniversary of Dallas were social, business and cultural heavyweights such as Ray Nasher, Virginia Nick, Matilda and Hugh Robinson, Margaret Hill and son Al Hill Jr., Nancy and Norman Brinker and Henry Gilchrist. Royal room at the inn Even though the royal couple didn't spend the night in Dallas, they did spend some time resting, having lunch and tea and changing clothes at the Adolphus Hotel.
