  • 1872: Survivors of the Texas Revolution
    (from the 1872 Texas Almanac) SURVIVORS OF THE TEXAS REVOLUTION. The following brief sketches of some of the present survivors of the Texas revolution have been received from time to time during the past year. We shall be glad to have the list extended from year to year, so that, by reference to our Almanac, our readers may know who among those sketches, it will be seen, give many interesting incidents of the war of the revolution. We give the sketches, as far as possible, in the language of the writers themselves. By reference to our Almanac of last year, (1871) it will be seen that we then published a list of 101 names of revolutionary veterans who received the pension provided for by the law of the previous session of our Legislature. What has now become of the Pension law? MR. J. H. SHEPPERD’S ACCOUNT OF SOME OF THE SURVIVORS OF THE TEXAS REVOLUTION. Editors Texas Almanac: Gentlemen—Having seen, in a late number of the News, that you wish to procure the names of the “veteran soldiers of the war that separated Texas from Mexico,” and were granted “pensions” by the last Legislature, for publication in your next year’s Almanac, I herewith take the liberty of sending you a few of those, with whom I am most intimately acquainted, and now living in Walker and adjoining counties. I would remark, however, at the outset, that I can give you but little information as to the companies, regiments, &c., in which these old soldiers served, or as to the dates, &c., of their discharges.

Pentecost initially developed his farm from the upper quarter of the Samuel May Williams League on the east side of the San Bernard River along Mound Creek west of the town of Columbia buying the property in 1832. Monroe Edwards, the notorious African slave runner, acquired the property in 1836 as it adjoined his plantation in the Jesse Thompson League. Since Monroe Edwards had to flee the Republic of Texas his property was auctioned off to pay his debts; Robert J. Townes bought the land at auction in1840. Several years later Joab H. Banton bought part of the property in 1849. Joab H. and Lucy G. Banton sold out their interest in the plantation to Robert G. Salmon but continued to live on the property which was developed into a modest sugar plantation, producing sugar through the middle 1850’s. Robert G. Salmon sold the plantation in 1854 to Mordacai Abrams of New Orleans to reduce his debt. John A. Quitman, former governor of Mississippi, acquired the property the next year. Both of these owners probably never set foot upon the plantation. William H. Masterson bought the property at a sheriff’s auction for only $40 in 1882.

The aim of this database online at the Portal of Texas History is to further the knowledge of slavery and free blacks in Nineteenth Century Texas. Also, historians of US slavery exclude Texas from broader legal studies because of the Spanish legal influence, or Texas was a developing slave frontier, or write that Texas Justices wrote nothing on slavery. Primarily, historians ignore Texas in broader legal studies because no easily accessible list of appellate cases is available.1 So far, more than 485 cases make up the "Database of Black Texans in the Texas Supreme Court, 1840-1907." Probably more appeals about Black Texans exist, but court reporters did not always identify individuals by race.

Their rhetoric brimmed with imagery depicting a struggle between freedom and bondage. In their view Mexico sought to enslave the only people in the land who still dared to defend the cause of lib- erty. A group of volunteers in October, 1835, labeled Mexican rule as "worse than Egyptian bondage"; the following June General Thomas J. Rusk sought to rally the people to the field against an enemy who in- tended "to make [them] the slaves of petty military commandants."

The • purpose of this paper is to trace the origins and the development of the African slave trade as it related to Texas history in the early nineteenth century. It must be understood from the outset that this trade in Texas never reached the significant importance, in terms of total numbers of Africans brought into this area, that it did in other areas of the New World.

  • 1 the Deceivingest Fellow: David T. Hines and the Crisis of Southern
    The Deceivingest Fellow: David T. Hines and the Crisis of Southern Honor Lawrence T. McDonnell Iowa State University Villain, fraud, hypocrite, imposter, scoundrel: just about everyone in antebellum America knew Dave, or thought they did.1 Almost no one saw him coming. Some few suffered for that error in a financial sense. Many more railed against his casual misappropriation of friendship, propinquity, identity, honor. Nearly all men and women on the eve of the Civil War had learned to scan any social situation, reading action as melodrama and penetrating to the heart of falsehood.2 Or getting flummoxed and fleeced and starting over again, a little wiser, perhaps. Yet historians have read the record with shocking carelessness, letting the good doctor slip away clean—not a trace or mention of David Theodosius Hines in all his various monkeyshines shows up anywhere in the scholarly literature.3 From “notorious” to nothing is quite a come-down, especially for a fellow who (maybe) wrote not one, but two captivating autobiographies.4 Dave’s contemporaries we can excuse: they were honestly hoodwinked. But how academics have managed to miss every clue to the existence of a man who threw the cultural identity of the nation into both pleasant and pestiferous confusion over the course of decades is 1 This essay is derived from a larger project in progress, Chasing Dave: the Unbelievable World of an American Scoundrel. For advice and criticism, I am indebted to Kathleen Hilliard, Vernon Burton, John Mayfield, and the late Bertram Wyatt-Brown. Please do not quote, cite or circulate this essay without permission.
