Volume 3, Issue 31 |
Our main feature this month is on José de la Luz Sáenz, civil rights activist, W.W.I. vet, and co-founder of LULAC. I'd like to thank Dr. Emilio Zamora for contributing this article that he wrote on Luz Sáenz. Look for a book within a year by Dr. Zamora on Sáenz. I'd also like to thank Mrs. Patricia Rinehart Mondragon for permitting me to photograph a portrait photo that they have at the José de la Luz Sáenz Elementary School in Alice, Tx. for our cover. We recently took in the reenactments at Goliad. This is something that I had always wanted to do and on the 15th anniversary of the reenactments we were there. The reenactors do a fantastic job portraying their role from the 1830s. We write about Francisca Alavez, the Angel of Goliad, an unsung heroine of the Texas Revolution. We also examine the circumstances that the Mexican officers were under when they were given the order from General Santa Ana to execute the Texian prisoners from the Battle of Coleto Creek. In our music section we feature Los Coyotes de Riverdale, a musical conjunto from the Goliad area made up of some veteran musicians who we had the pleasure of meeting and hearing during a break at the reenactments. We continue our story on the first printing press on Texas soil and how it came to be. Be sure to read our regular departments for some great recipes, new books to read, new internet links to check out, cattle brands of Duval county, the healing aloe vera plant, and the ever popular proverbios. Hasta la próxima, Homero S. Vera |
