“The Die is Cast”: Early Texans Face the Comanches

Page from the Telegraph and Texas Register newspaper from Nov. 3, 1828

The Telegraph and Texas Register was the most influential newspaper in the region between colonial settlement and the Civil War. Based in Houston and intended for popular consumption, the nationalistic editorials in this publication offer a window into how the newly formed Lone Star Republic viewed the challenges of rapid territorial expansion into contested territories along the lower Great Plains.
