With another celebration of Texas Independence coming up. I’ve been reading through a copy of Texas History Movies. The book is a collection of comic strips telling the history of Texas from Columbus to the Civil War. The first comic was published in 1920 by the Dallas Morning News and from what I understand the collection was used through the 1960’s as a classroom aid in teaching Texas History. Magnolia Petroleum Company (Exxon-Mobil) compiled the the collection of strips and gave them away to schools. Fun book, there is a more politically correct version available that was put out within the last 5 years or so.
