Imagining Texas: Pre-Revolutionary Texas Newspapers, 1829-1836

Carol Lea Clark

0/5 ( ratings)

Texas - big, rugged, independent, rebellious - few states evoke such immediate reactions with the mere mention of their names. Texas - gun-toting, maverick-spirited, patriotic. But why did those images become part of the legend that surrounds Texas and how did the word spread? Between 1821 and 1836, Texas belonged to the state of Coahuila and Texas, Mexico; fought for independence from Mexico; established itself as an independent country; and became the 28th of the United States of America. In the middle of this turbulent period, Godwin Brown Cotton established the first permanent press in Texas in 1829. The Texas Gazette was a largely promotional press used to communicate Stephen F. Austin's reports of the status of Texas to the Mexican government, to recruit new settlers, and to provide news and entertainment to the people of Texas. Nine days after the first shot of the Texas Revolution was fired in October 1835, the unsinkable Telegraph and Texas Register went to print.
