Happy Independence Day!

From the Texas State Historical Association

Texas declares independence from Mexico

On this day in 1836, Texas became a republic. On March 1 delegates from the seventeen Mexican municipalities of Texas and the settlement of Pecan Point met at Washington-on-the-Brazos to consider independence from Mexico. George C. Childress presented a resolution calling for independence, and the chairman of the convention appointed Childress to head a committee of five to draft a declaration of independence. In the early morning hours of March 2, the convention voted unanimously to accept the resolution. After fifty-eight members signed the document, Texas became the Republic of Texas. The change remained to be demonstrated to Mexico.

*AND* Happy Birthday Sam Houston!  His birthday, coincidentally, is the same as Texas Independence Day.

Yup!  Unfortunately it's been way too long since I've been to Washington on the Brazos.  The last time I tried to go my rental car got a flat and it took all day to deal with it.
