Grandfather of Texas Sainted in a simple Potos grave
The article honors Moses Austin the early American settler who opened Texas for migration. It notes his birth in 1767, business ventures in Philadelphia and Richmond, and his bold 1819-1820 mission to obtain permission to establish a colony on the Brazos. It credits his son Stephen F. Austin with continuing the project.
