Y'know, though... that's a pretty nice website for a state's history. I was
poking around the student index
http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/tools/studentguides/guide1.html


Nancy, off to google California history... :-)

Hey, hey! Thou shalt not rile the Texans. It confuses us.

So, what's foreign about the history of Tennessee Colony, TX, Sandra? It has
all the major hallmarks of most town histories in this state: odd name, no
apparent reason to settle there, racial unrest (I'd lay odds that there
still aren't too many non-lily-white persons in town), direct connection to
the prison system. (OK, that last isn't that common, but not uncommon
either!)

Maybe I've just lived here too long...

Karen
