  • About The Author


Some early Texas heroes 

have been forgotten, 
while others remain 
relatively unknown, 
unrecognized, and
unappreciated.




As a historical researcher, 
I
respect 
the many contributions 

these individuals have made 
on behalf of our fine state; and 
accordingly, I encourage their 
proper and overdue recognition 
and remembrance.

Please do your part for your heroes.
