Although Texas joined the Confederacy, it wasn't a move favored by everyone. While Governor Sam Houston is the best known Texan to resist the decision, there were many others. This course will look at Texas' diverse population and the wide range of opposition, including the largest group, Germans in the Hill Country. Many Texas Unionists also joined the U.S. Army to fight against the Confederates and these were the men who took control of the state at the war's end. -

A brief history of military aircraft nose art from World War I to Vietnam with a detailed look at the army helicopter artwork of the Vietnam war covering 1961 - 1975. The presentation includes a "case study" or detailed look at the artwork of a single unit and what the influences were and how it was connected to the insignia and call signs of the unit. The lecture explores the influences of society, music, politics, and other things that influenced the sometimes very creative artwork found on aircraft of the periods. - Section Code: F20FSFHCE033A

The history of the Chicken Ranch is an interesting part of Texas history. The lecture will describe the beginning of the ranch and how it evolved into an asset to the community of La Grange who petitioned for its continued existence. The charity to the community, the information provided to the Texas Rangers who were able to capture some of the most notorious gangsters in America, not to mention the involvement of Texas Universities created an icon in Texas history.
The demise of the ranch and the opportunities for further involvement in an entirely different venue are a part of that history.

More than 30 million copies of Gone with the Wind have been sold worldwide and it was one of the most influential books of the twentieth century. The movie version in 1939 still remains one of the most successful films in box-office history. But does Mitchell's story live up to the expectations of a Civil War historian? We will discuss the wartime events depicted in the book, with a focus on Gen. William T. Sherman's capture of Atlanta and his March to the Sea (from Atlanta to Savannah) in 1864 and how it touched the people of Georgia, especially Mitchell's fictional characters of Scarlett O'Hara, Rhett Butler, and others. -

Controversy over the name and route of the Chisholm Trail has persisted over time; and the popularity of late nineteenth-century Wild West shows, dime novels, and twentieth-century radio, movie, and television western drama has propelled the bygone era of the cattle trail into myth. The rise of automobile tourism, potential economic impact of tourists, and the appearance of numerous "historical" markers based on little more than hearsay contributed to the Chisholm Trail legend. Primary documents and sources that may have been unavailable to previous historians will be used to offer a new look at the Old Chisholm Trail. -

As Europeans and the American colonists faced the uncertainties of famine, economic uncertainty, wars and plagues witches became increasingly feared as the cause.
