Texas Patriots Foresee Texas War as Cos Marches
In a room in San Felipe on March 3 1836 five men council the crisis as General Cos advances toward San Antonio. They draft a proclamation declaring war as the only remedy to defend Texas and preserve self rule, sparking a Texan march toward San Antonio within three weeks. Gail Borden Jr and his brothers emerge as key figures in Texas history and print the proclamation through a rapid relay system. The piece links to later news of Borden’s Texas connections and a Condensed view of the Republic’s early leadership.
