1860: Texas Ranger James Pike described the Central Texas secessionists as “mostly young men, both ambitious and fanatical, who had been led astray by artful demagogues. The unionists, on the other hand, were venerable men of property and character . . . but the secessionists, though few, were organized and armed.” Pike was headed out of Texas before the war started, in late February he passed through Cora, then the seat of Comanche County, and found armed secessionists operating the polls.

Its like you learn my thoughts! You appear to understand so much about this, like you wrote the ebook in it or something. I feel that you can do with some percent to drive the message home a bit, but other than that, that is excellent blog. A fantastic read. I will certainly be back.
Thank you very much. I hope you like early Texas Indians – that’s going to be a frequent subject.
Hi would you mind letting me know which web host you’re working with? I’ve loaded your blog in 3 different internet browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot quicker then most. Can you suggest a good hosting provider at a honest price? Thanks, I appreciate it!
Hi. I use Bluehost under the WordPress system. I just started in January and don’t really know what I’m doing. Dan
I’ve learned new things by your blog site. One other thing I’d like to say is newer computer system operating systems often allow far more memory to be played with, but they furthermore demand more memory space simply to perform. If an individual’s computer is unable to handle extra memory as well as the newest application requires that ram increase, it may be the time to shop for a new Personal computer. Thanks
Thanks
