Saving Texas History!

Brazos Heritage Society member Henry Mayo has made us aware of Saving Texas History!, an electronic publication of the Texas General Land Office.  The Spring 2012 edition of the Saving Texas History! focuses on a new perspective of the 1842 Archives War, with Land Commissioner Thomas William Ward’s thoughts about the incident that saw Austinites hold hostage the archives and records of the General Land Office for more than a year.
