We have left port after a brief winter break. Officers and crew seem rested but how long will that last?
What is on the itinerary for our passengers in this quarter?
The Annexation of Texas (pros and cons, Constitution of 1845)
The Mexican War (border dispute, Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo)
The Civil War and Reconstruction (Texas’ role)
The Indian Wars
Life in Texas (pre and post Civil War)
The Cattle Kingdom (Longhorns, barbed wire, ranching and cattle trails)
Railroads and Farming
They will engage in newspaper reporting i.e. editorial writing ~ TAKS Writing Test for 7th grade passengers is next month. Any opportunity to practice their skills will be given.
My resolution is to keep these short ~ will I stick to it, though???
Vaya con Díos
