Excerpt from Texas, the Marvellous, the State of the Six Flags: Including Accounts of the Spanish Settlement and Establishment of the Indian Missions, the Unfortunate Expedition and Death of La Salle; The Romance of Its Early Settlement and Stories of Its Hardy Pioneers

Interesting and fascinating as is the history of the Republic of Texas, a nation in an almost undeveloped wilderness, that of the succeeding State of Texas is no less worthy of our consideration. After almost ten years of independence, the Texans voluntarily gave up their sovereignty to become one of the galaxy of States under the glorious banner of the United States. This action is also almost without precedent; but the change from independence to interdependence was accomplished with little friction. Then came the sanguinary struggle to wrest the soil from the aborigines, as well as from the lawless whites and Mexicans, who made it their home.

All of these changes and struggles, and their aecom panying influences, have developed the Texans into a peo ple differing somewhat from those of the other States and these characteristics make the-study of Texas and the Texans still more fascinating.
