Subject: RE: Req/ADD: Songs about the Texas Rangers
Guest Slowtrap, I quoted from the article on W. W. A. Wallace (Bigfoot) in "The Handbook of Texas," which says he came to Austin in the spring of 1840, and the article on Perote Prison.
The last 105 prisoners were released from Perote Prison in 1844.
Your quarrel, if any, is with "The Handbook of Texas," put out by the Texas State Historical Association.
