Topic: Handbook of Texas Online - Biographies Presented by Alice
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overview: The
Handbook of Texas Online, a publication of the Texas State Historical
Association (TSHA), offers a full-text searchable version of the print edition
of the handbook, along with 400 articles not included in the print
edition. Learn about the early explorers
of Texas, Indians, outlaws and lawmen, famous men and women, cities, towns,
rural communities, and much more between the pages of the handbook. Today, we are going to meet those individuals
who had some impact on society and were either born in Texas, lived in Texas
for a considerable period of time, or were out-of-staters who had a hand in
shaping Texas. NOTE: Only deceased people
are the subjects of biographical articles.
