Nolan and the Texas filibuster who shaped history
The essay recounts Philip Nolan, an Irish-born adventurer who led an early filibustering expedition into Texas, seeking horses and possibly gold or a Texas separation from Mexico. It covers his illegal trade, the 1800-1801 campaign, his death, Bean’s daring river crossing, and the enduring mystery of Nolan’s true motive.

Parity Loans Pass for Cotton and Wheat Nationwide
The American Farm Bureau Federation announced Congress passed 85 percent parity loans on cotton and wheat, boosting Texas and national farm income. The measure raises cotton loan value to 13.5 cents per pound and wheat prices to at least 96 cents per bushel, with 15 percent funded by conservation and other payments. Farm Bureau credits the victory to organized farmer advocacy across 42 states and 500000 members led by J. Walter Hammond of Tye Texas.
