On the breezy Texas border, on the prairies far away Where the antelope is grazing and the Spanish ponies play; Where the tawny cattle wander through the golden incensed hours, And the sunlight woos a landscape clothed in royal robes of flowers; Where the Elm and Clear Fork mingle, as they journey to the sea, And the night-wind sobs sad stories o’er a wild and lonely lea; Where of old the dusky...

Nashville on the Brazos
มุมมอง 52หลายเดือนก่อน
Nashville, Texas. Nashville, on the Milam County side of the Brazos River, just south of where Little River flows into the Brazos, was once considered by the Texas Congress as a possible site for the capital of the Republic of Texas. The town served as county seat of Milam County in 1837, until the state legislature made Cameron the county seat in 1846. Now nothing remains but a couple of histo...

Waco Tornado of May 11, 1953

At around 4:30 pm on May 11, 1953, an unsuspecting population in downtown Waco were caught completely off guard by a monstrous tornado that ripped through the city and transformed the area forever. Downtown Waco has not been the same since. Even the courthouse square was never rebuilt. The storm killed 114 people and seriously injured another 145; 196 business buildings were completely destroye...

Thank you for the tour. Excellent camerawork and editing. Enjoyed all the artifacts and chance to read the plaques.
@@nunyabussiness4054 Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
I have been going to fort phantom Hill for 10 years
I’ve heard the story saying that only 1 Indian survived but I trust you
There are conflicting reports. One I read in the Austin Weekly Statesman, dated August 14, 1873, said of the 15 to 20 Indians, one was killed "outright", probably the Chief Indian of the group, and the rest were run off after a hand-to-hand fight. Another letter to the Austin American Statesman dated August 7, 1873, stated at least two Indians were killed with others mortally wounded. I rather trust the prior account as it was reported by Chief Justice of Llano County E. R. Beeson. Thank you for your comment and thank you for watching!
@@exploringtexashistorywithbecky it checks out with Comanche behavior to not fight to the last and to scatter after the chief and bad magic sets upon the group. Only wondering if the casualties were high if the other account is right because of being caught off guard and not horseback, which is not how Comanches fight at all would completely have them shook.
@@thesmoothtoad310 100 Percent. The Indians had a scout posted but he was asleep. The rest were dismounted and eating dinner. The eight Texans positioned themselves between the Indians and their horses, which prevented them from mounting and taking the advantage. Once the Chief fell, the Texans braced for another attack, but the Indians retreated. They let them go, as half of them were wounded and needed medical care. I am sure that if the Indians had been able to mount onto their horses, we would have a very different story to tell.
Для чего это снимать?
Why shoot it? I am going to post a video about the person buried here. It is a very interesting part of Texas History! Зачем это снимать? Я собираюсь разместить видео о человеке, похороненном здесь. Это очень интересная часть истории Техаса!"
@@exploringtexashistorywithbecky надо всю историю целиком выкладывать, а не непонятные отрезки видео с гладбища
Translation: "It is necessary to post the whole story, and not incomprehensible segments of the video..." The short is meant to be a teaser! Please stay tuned. Короткометражка задумана как тизер! Пожалуйста, не переключайтесь.
@@exploringtexashistorywithbecky Про историю Техаса,я посмотрю с удовольствием.Это один из самых интересных штатов в вашей стране.Когда нибудь,наши политики перестанут нас ссорить и приеду в гости.У вас есть на что посмотреть
I ❤ Texas.
Isn't it beautiful? 😁
Thanks for the tour and great information
Thank you for this. I had never heard of it and I live only 25 miles away from it. I will be heading that way to visit it next week.
I went to Jones Creek Elementary School in Brazoria, TX (Washington on the Brazos). We lived on a part of the Stephen F Austin original sugar cane plantation, and we had an old barn on the property with an old syrup cystern right outside the barn we used as a gold fish pond. Late at night as a young boy I would hear chains rattling and songs from the barn, even though we had long coverted it to an oversized chicken coup.
That's fantastic! I love it! Thank you for sharing your story!!
I stop and even turn around to check historical markers here in TX throughout my travels! Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
Little further than most Texas cities. Thanks for the tour. What a beautiful town.
Marfa is a cool town. We visit there annually for the Marfa Lights Festival.
Wow, the rest of the roof looks good except the spot where it looks almost like something fell through it, into the floor, except the rafters are still there. The mattress looks newer. That could be fixed with just a little money if someone had some skills. The windmill too could be fixed. Too bad that someone had to break those windows.... thank you for sharing, I started dreaming of fixing it up. Someone did a good job making a homestead there once! I subscribed, your channel is interesting, thank you!
Thank you so much!
Weird name, hahahaha! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Nice video, thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Plain beautiful, thanks for sharing!
Absolutely. 😁
Beautiful part of Texas
I love it!
Nice area and historic marker information
Thanks for watching
EXCELLENT YOUR VIDEO
Ango colonists were enforcing the transporting of slaves into a land were it was illegal. They had no inclination to be citizens of Mexico, but become a separate country or a new American State
And that space music made a great background for it.
Thank you!
This is one of the places I would love to visit.
Highly recommend it! There are even some hiking trails Jackie-Boy would like!
@exploringtexashistorywithbecky thank you for letting me know about the hiking trails.
I went to school in Elkhart 74-86
I love it. Big Bend was a shocker to me. I wouldn't have been surprised to see some Apache. 😪That's tough country around there.👍
That's what is known as a fixer upper.
Clean little one owner. Just needs a little paint.
thanks
Thanks so much. Hope to get there someday.
Thanks, very interesting
Thanks for the view from the top.
Love to visit there one day.
Where is this located?
It is located off FM 500 just North of San Saba to CR 433. Just follow the signs. 😀
Thanks for bringing us along.
Ratcliff , is there still a store there?
Just a little Exxon convenience store but not much more. They do have a post office. 🙂
Thanks Becky. That was a very nice stroll.
Thank you
Thank you so much Becky. Having read most of these in the past in person it was so nice to read them again. You should have a million subscribers.
You are very welcome!
Thank you for giving an honest and well researched account of the Horrells.
Thank you very much for the tour. Please don't take this as criticism but as a selfish request on my part. It would help if you took a few seconds of close up video of historical markers and tombstone that you show so they can be paused and easily read. Some even zoom in and do a slow pan down the length of the text. Even on my large monitor and full screen setting some were unreadable. Thanks again and hope to see more soon.
I will do better on that in the future. Thank you for watching!
I live here , thank you !
We loved the town! We visited for two days and ate breakfast at Dolli's Diner both days! Delicious.
Thank you
Thank you
Amazing video! The legion Valley massacre actually happened on my land and James Ragsdale is my great,great,great grandfather! We have a notebook of his writing about this battle and we still work the land at his ranch and still sleep in the house shown in the video! Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you so much! I love hearing from people like you who have personal attachments to these stories!
There’s a lot of pain, and a lot of injustice that happened, but it’s the truth. IT IS THE TRUTH! We need to start spreading, and teaching the truth. Hiding, or not talking about it will not make us forget! Teach the real American story, without sugar coating a thing. Keep it raw, and real.
Which states have confederates hero’s day?
Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and North and South Carolina.
Excellence.
Thank you for sharing the Texas history.
Congrats to all Texas Rangers past and present for providing 200 years of continuous public presence and protection!
greatpost thanks
Great place to visit. Thanks for sharing the video.

Thank you! I'm in Central Texas. Would love to!
