View MoreOn the trail to Texas independence. These bits of Texas history are interesting fun things about the history of Texas independence in 1835 and 1836; they are just that, “bits”, and intended to spark the imagination and curiosity. I do not claim to be an expert, or even amateur historian, just someone who values a good tale and admires a people with a singular purpose - LIBERTY. Besides, I’m a sucker for the underdogs. The odds are against any group of people attempting to break free from an oppressive government and take their place among the nations of the world. As for our country, the U.S. did it in the mid 1770’s, and Texas did in the mid 1830’s. The colonists and the Texians proved they were up to the task and I believe we owe them a great deal. Most all of the information in these posts has been gleaned from the Internet and some from college courses. There’s a wealth of knowledge out there if one is willing to take advantage of it. However, I am sure that some of this information may not be 100% accurate and some may have been enhanced by additions or demeaned by deletions by the story tellers. Some information is taken from firsthand accounts, and some by word of mouth yarn spinning. Either way, it makes a good story. NOTE: As with any revolution, there are fits and starts. So it was with this one. During the beginning of November to mid-month in 1835, there were a few battles, and there were minor skirmishes to be sure, but mostly there were troop movements and reinforcements for the Mexican army coming up from the south. There were volunteers for the Texian army coming in from various states from the north and east. Communications being handled the way they were by messengers took a lot of time to send and to receive responses. Many loosely organized militias in Texas were being brought into the Texian army. The Consultation, having made little progress in their quest to organize, had some members taking a break to consult with their constituents.
