Texas Star!
While putting together an upcoming video about the Texas 1936 Centennial celebration, we came across this fantastic song that was commissioned for the Centennial Celebration. The tune will take you back in time to the days of singing cowboys. So take a listen and follow along with the lyrics. Many thanks to friend of the Texas Center, Paul Woodul, for sharing this wonderful keepsake from his grandfather's collection!

    The meanness went all directions. My 2nd Great Grandfather, Captain Stephen Carter Ragan and family moved to Tyler TX, to escape the hostilities in Kansas City MO. In 1859. He joined the Army of Texas for a short time, however when Texas seceded, he formed a Calvary unit under Johnson. His company was comprised of family members, including nephews and cousins. They fought many battles throughout the south, including the siege of Vicksburg, Chickamauga, the battle of Atlanta and Mobile AL. He went on to be a two term State Senator in MO, and served as Undersheriff for KC MO for two terms. My family still has relatives in the Tyler area to this day. God Bless Texas!

    Actually there are a couple of reasons Molten Salt Reactors were not continued, in addition to the need for rapid development of Rickover's submarines. Nixon was apparently told he would not get funding for both the California project and the Oak Ridge MSR project. Because Nixon did not want to cut off the supplies of Plutonium for thermonuclear weapons primaries, he chose fast breeders as the one to fund. And, of course, being a Californian as well as being pressured by a Californian politician, the Oak Ridge MSR research was shut down.

    The best-spent 90 minutes of this year for me so far! I was blown away when you brought up the name of Ernst Beseler as he is my great-grandfather! I had never heard this story about him and it still has my mind blown. Also, two other Beselers were among the massacred at Nueces River and have their names inscribed on the monument in Comfort.

    In Junior High in Brownwood (in the early '50's) we were given a clean map of the State outline and another one with the county outlines. The task was to draw in all 254 counties on the clean map. Things went well as you started in the panhandle and far West Texas but by the time you got to central and then East Texas the remaining area bore no resemblance to the needed space!

    Few things are as rewarding as learning about a student's growth in a program like this. Helping students refine their talent into skills benefits everyone who sees their art. Improving their ability to express their humanity, no matter the media, is a gift. Salma and Gabe can enjoy bright futures-they seem well-grounded in themselves, their media, and their growing ability to create art that has long-lasting impressions on viewers. They both exhibit kindness, which is essential for beneficial interaction with others.

    People today groan and lament the fate of the native tribes but without question those people were the most untrustworthy, scheeming, violent and murderous people on the face of the earth. They were that way before any white man ever arrived and the several tribes butchered each other as just another event in their day, another aspect of their unrefined behavior. Ghengis Khan and his hordes had nothing on the American Indian in terms of horsemanship, skills, brutality and violence; those traits were just who they were. There are a number of great books in print today that describe and detail the senseless and unprovoked atrocities committed by native tribes upon other humans and before anyone ever bemoans the terrible fate that fell upon the natives, they should immerse themselves in these stories. Learning the truth about individual Indian personalities and about their atrocities might not change their opinions, few things do unless they are actually experienced, but at least the sympathisers will understand, without any ignorance in the matter, why the axe fell and why it fell so hard.

      @@sammhyde7589 Relax dude. At the time and height of their power as a plains tribe they were exactly as I noted. Had that behavior been permitted to continue they would have faced certain annihalation in the face of overwhelming forces, all exclusive of the US Army. Today the Comanche people live all over the country. They are still a strong and united people who contribute to all aspects of their communities. IMO they are still the Lords of the Plains and not in any danger of harm or extinction.

    37:03 "Weird Tales owned him (Howard) $1,300 by the time he dies." You should have mentioned that $1,300 in 1936 has the value equivalent of $29,210.00 today. Wages in the 1920s-30s are meaningless without adjustment for inflation.
