Maverick of Texas Cattle lore and a famous unbranded coin
Samuel Augustus Maverick, born 1803, became a lawyer, Texas army guide, and San Antonio leader who helped draft the Texas Declaration of Independence. He was elected to Congress while a prisoner in Mexico, owned vast land, and earned fame for not branding cattle, giving rise to the term maverick. His life intersected with San Antonio politics, Matagorda Island lore, and early Texas state history.
