"This is Thomas Allen the second African American ever to serve as an Austin police officer. His story is a tragic one. Officer Allen was shot and killed on East Sixth Street by the editor of a San Antonio Black newspaper after a bitter dispute over some articles the editor had written. Those pieces accused Allen of mistreating women during arrests and the two men wound up face-to-face at Jennings Drug Store in the XXX block of East Sixth. An earlier confrontation in a nearby wagon yard had already turned things sour and the encounter at the drug store ended with the editor pulling a gun."

"On December XX 1836 XXX years ago today the Congress of the Republic of Texas signed off on the flag you see here as the young nations first official banner. Sam Houston signed it into law. Known as the National Standard of Texas it was a simple azure field carrying a single golden star the design long associated with interim president David Burnet. That blue-and-gold standard flew as the national flag of Texas until January XX 1839 when the familiar Lone Star we know today took its place. I think this is a cool flag but I'm much happier with the current one. What do y'all think"

"Elvis Presley played Lubbock's Fair Park coliseum five times in 1955 and early 1956. If you look at the bottom of this advertisement you'll see "Buddy and Bob" a reference to Buddy Holly and Bob Montgomery who opened for Elvis. After Elvis' first performance word of mouth spread quickly through Lubbock's young people and subsequent concerts were quite frenzied by Lubbock standards. The coliseum which still stands had opened the year before. But how great would it be to say that you saw Buddy Holly AND Elvis Presley on the same night"

They were apparently apprentice bakers. I was looking at this and thinking about how many loaves of bread rolls and yes how many fruitcakes this group went on to bake before they all passed away.

She sent it to her husband and he carried it with him all during the war. Afterward her children all thought the photo was beautiful and were always asking her to display it on the wall but she being a modest Texas lady whose father worked on the Matador ranch (among others) was too shy to allow the world to see it. Finally toward the end of her long life she relented. She passed away just a few years ago. As always I am humbled by"

He could never EVER have imagined all that would ensue as a result of that decision ---- from the 4th largest city (named for him) in the nation and his name being uttered on the moon to the hare-brained research I do here at Traces of Texas.

"The reason tamales are traditionally served around Christmas hereabouts in Texas is because that's when it's cold enough to butcher hogs. Before refrigeration you wanted cold weather to butcher hogs for food-safety reasons: cold temperatures slowed bacterial growth and kept meat from spoiling while it was being cut up salted smoked or rendered into lard. You want temperatures low enough that meat cools quickly and stays cool while you work. There was also the practical matter of labor. A hog yields an astonishing amount of work: scalding scraping cutting rendering lard stuffing sausage"
