Texas Declaration of Independence and San Jacinto Echoes
A reflective piece recalls the March 2 1836 Texas Declaration of Independence at Washington on the Brazos signed by 58 men, notes signers including Navarro and Zavala, and links to Texas history and the Alamo, Goliad, and San Jacinto. It links local memory in Wimberley through Dee Ann Story and Harold Brantley, with General Sam Houston and Travis figures, and excerpts Travis’s famous appeal.
