Stephen F. Austin

With the election of George W. Bush, a Texan has once more moved into the White House. During the presidential campaign, questions of environment, education, poverty, and especially the death penalty have placed the twentyeighth state of the Union once more in the limelight of national and international attention. For many around the world, the death penalty especially raised critical questions because Texas leads the nation in executions. When one talks about the history of the Lone Star State, though, most people outside of Texas and even many Texans themselves know little more than that it was an independent republic for ten years before it joined the Union in 1845 and that Samuel Houston was the first president of this republic and one of the first U.S. senators from the state of Texas. His life and times have drawn the attention of historians and journalists alike. There are more than ten biographies about this colorful character
