Lorenzo de Zavala A Texas Rebel and Diplomat
Lorenzo de Zavala, a Yucatan deputy and admirer of the U S constitution, shaped Mexican and Texan politics. He advised Texas during its fight for independence, lived at Zavala Point across Buffalo Bayou, and died in 1836 after a boat accident. His family faced danger, exile, and upheaval as he helped Texas seek full independence.
