Old Moses had a rough go of it getting back to Missouri. Isn't it always interesting how history often rests on coincidences? Had Moses Austin not encountered the self-titled Baron, how different might Texas' story be?
Indeed. I wonder whether he would have supported independence from Mexico or could have worked out a compromise before hostilities. That would have been a different Texas story.
That’s a great question and an interesting possibility. There could’ve been many different versions of the Texas story. Fertile ground for speculative fiction!
