TEXANS
Texas without Texans
is like Antarctica without penguins -
in both cases the landscape would be barren without them.
Texans just happen to be a lot more colorful.
"Every man's life is a fairy-tale written by God's fingers."

Quanah
Parker by Jeffery Robenalt
Quanah Parker was a major player in both the Comanche war of resistance
against white encroachment of the Comancheria and in the tribe’s
eventual acclimation to reservation life. Nomadic warrior of the
plains, war chief of the Quahadi band, cattle rancher, man of business,
and friend to American Presidents; it could truly be said that Quanah
was a man of two worlds.

Buffalo Soldiers by Jeffery Robenalt
In nearly thirty years of dedicated and arduous service, Buffalo
Soldiers won the grudging respect of even the most prejudiced of
their white officers. The black cavalrymen and infantrymen were
awarded nine Medals of Honor for meritorious valor in combat and
countless other awards and commendations for distinguished service.
More importantly, Buffalo Soldiers were a credit to the African-American
race.
