Keeping unvarnished Texas history alive since 2006 with books, historic maps, prints.

@churtnobain Some folks prefer Texican now now, but back then it was Texian until Texan took over circa 1838. Texians called themselves Texians.

[Copano Bay Press @TexasHistory]

@JCovensky @Warlockyone People in Texas used "Texian" until 1837-38 when "Texan" fell into favor. Texican was not a way Texians referred to themselves, though it does appear in some non-Texas newspapers of the day. So did "Texasian," oddly.

If anyone wants to take a quick survey about Texas and being Texan, Michael Sparkman could benefit from your responses.

I’m pretty happy with this next episode. I’m finally putting to use the top secret survey project from last year. I’ve contacted one person if they want to participate. I’ll be happy to have a few more participants. Let me know. For people who live or have lived in Texas.

@sylvester1630 @cardlewoolley @TPPF With ya on the McCombs School/Turtle Island insanity. Ditto the strawberry shortcake travesty! #teamkeylime

@sherriematula June 16 & 17 were the last general and committee SBOE meetings. Please provide a link to where this language was allegedly proposed. No such hearing is posted on the TEA/SBOE site.

@TracesofTexas Young wildcatter Hunt bought out the oversold scammy stock companies of Marion Joiner and settled all the lawsuits filed by shareholders to consolidate his huge interest in the East Texas field. Wrote two utopian libertarianesque novels, too.

@derrickjeter @TracesofTexas That’s been my average experience all around: 6 months to a year. Hatters are an odd lot. A sweet, odd lot, though. The time you wait for the lid is time you spend getting to know your hatter. Win-win!

Don’t recall how Atascocito became Astascocita but I’ve read it somewhere.

@WiseAboutTexas @YouTube Hey! I know that guy! Don’t play in traffic, Justice Wise.

@arthursimonart @DrBuckinghamTX They’ve managed the Permanent School Fund since 1876. They have amazing historical map holdings that are used as source material for GLO lesson plans. Etc etc.

@derrickjeter @TracesofTexas That’s a good looking lid! I have custom hat coming that I ordered back in November. I wanted it for winter but supply chain issues begged to differ!

[Copano Bay Press @TexasHistory]

@majesticdrive @OfficialAlamo It’s a poorly worded tweet. The point is it was fought in someone’s front yard.

[Copano Bay Press @TexasHistory]

@derrickjeter @WiseAboutTexas He kept to his usual message. That it was a part of the whole melange but not THE cause of the Tex Rev. He’s stayed true to his research.

At the @TxStHistAssoc San Jacinto Symposium today, ogling this gentleman’s left handed penmanship while I scribble notes on my iPad that resemble my childhood Etch-A-Sketch doodles. Interesting presentations & kind folks all around.

Fun to see Austin's Colony giving a shout out to De Witt's Colony for picking up Jose Antonio Navarro as commissioner.

(From Three-Legged Willie's paper, The Mexican Citizen. March 17, 1831. He sold his stake in the paper at the end of that year.)
