That statement just shows you don't have a clue what Texas is about. Texas is much more than home.
One of my ancestors was born in Texas During the Republic. When the Civil War ended he was in a prison camp in NY. He walked home to Texas from NY. Oral traditions are very much a part of Texas. Some things history books will never record.
“That statement just shows you don’t have a clue what Texas is about. Texas is much more than home.”
Really? So enlighten me. I found the story about your ancestor interesting and it gives some insight. And I appreciate it. Telling non-Texans that they simply can’t understand isn’t particularly helpful. And you might be surprised.
