August 2001 Vol. 4, Issue 47	Our main story this month is on the last recorded Indian raid into South Texas, April 14-19, 1878. The story is based on affidavits signed by witnesses to the raid. In the government report they refer to the raiders as being Kickapoo, Lipan-Apache, and Seminole Indians, Mexicans, and one white man. After reading the affidavits only one person referred to Lipan-Apache and Seminoles being involved and he was the only one who was not an actual eyewitness. All the other eyewitnesses referred to the Kickapoo Indians only so we will refer only to the Kickapoos. The raiders supposedly came from the area of Santa Rosa in Coahuila. Loretta Martinez Williams contributes another beautiful poem inspired on the life of Nepomuceno "Cheno" Cortina. We welcome a new contributing writer, Miguel Bedolla González who writes about his ancestral land of Múzquiz, Coahuila. Be sure to read about the last of Rene Cabrera’s Tejano Music Series, on the Father of the Tejano Orchestra-Beto Villa, held in Villa’s hometown of Falfurrias. In our México-Nueva España section read about one of the largest and oldest residences in Mexico City and why it is named Palacio de Iturbide. Also we have narrated a current exhibit being displayed in the Palacio entitled, México-Los Proyectos De Una Nación, 1821-1888. Be sure to check out our regular departments for some interesting books, livestock brands, and the agostadero map. Don’t forget to plan for the upcoming 22nd Annual Texas Hispanic Genealogical Conference this September 13-16 in Houston. Hasta la próxima, Homero S. Vera
