Texans
seem to be recognized throughout the world
as TEXANS first and AMERICANS second.
The Can Do Spirit and the “write your own ticket” nature of the Lone Star State – from cowboys on the open plains, to the rough necks in the oil patch to the space flight engineers and captains of industry is marvelously reflected in this quote from a former Texas Senator. The quote is paired with an antiqued replica map of the State of Texas from 1874. In the decades following the Civil War, Texas enjoyed a fantastic era of spectacular growth as settlers poured in from back east. This map includes a rare drawing of the first capitol building in Austin.
