I admit to grabbing the low hanging fruit BUT I figured my great great great granddaddy’s stories would not satisfy you. Lol
Super well documented history. Those of us who grew up in Texas not only learn it in Texas History but there are numerous sites with plaques and monuments built at the turn of the century as well as documentation from Mexico. Wikipedia has its uses and uncontested historical events that match many historical documents I think is a fair use.
I grew up in N.E New Mex. so I know all the Texas History that I care to know....
But after Texas won its Freedom, there were still Mexican Raiders going into New Mexico and Raiding Villages, even though it was Technically part of Texas, and the Texas Rangers were too few and too far between....
The Pancho Villa did his thing and was chased in turn of the Century Automobiles, so to me this History really isn't very old, we're only talking about the period between the War of 1812 and Lincolns Subjugation War....
1835 through 1848, and Mexico still wanted a bit more near the turn of the Century so they Probably Funded Villa indirectly, in my opinion....
For what it's worth, we still have lots of Wetters that come here and join groups or create Groups like ""La Raza"", only to foment discontent and to Protest the loss of what could have been 1/2 of Mexico....
IMHO it's the equivalent of Those Beggars asking for Reparations....
Nice. Sadly you never know these days. History is being lost and rewritten and that is heartbreaking. Heartbreaking because the children who are not taught will likely fall into the very same patterns. Merry Christmas neighbor
