On March 2nd 1836 at Washington on the Brazos a formal declaration of independence was signed declaring Texas’ independence from Mexico. Printing presses all over the new rebublic went wild printing copies of the declaration not only in English, but also Spanish! To paraphrase my good friend and fellow reenactor, Dr. Steve Hardin, " English and Spanish???? Those racist bastids!"
Heck of a nice guy and a Professor at one of our small local Universities, McMurry. Also, he hosted a book signing by legendary drummer and Alamo artifact collector Phil Collins here a few years ago in Abilene.
