DOWNLOAD EBOOKWith more than 400 photographs, extensive interviews with the descendants of pioneer Jewish Texan families, and reproductions of rare historical documents, Natalie Ornish’s Pioneer Jewish Texans quickly became a classic following its original release in 1989. This new Texas A&M University Press edition presents Ornish’s meticulous research and her fascinating historical vignettes for a new generation of readers and historians. She chronicles Jewish buccaneers with Jean Lafitte at Galveston; she tells of Jewish patriots who fought at the Alamo and at virtually every major engagement in the war for Texan independence; she traces the careers of immigrants with names like Marcus, Sanger, and Gordon, who arrived on the Texas frontier with little more than the packs on their backs and went on to build great mercantile empires. Cattle barons, wildcatters, diplomats, physicians, financiers, artists, and humanitarians are among the other notable Jewish pioneers and pathfinders described in this carefully researched and exhaustively documented book. Filling a substantial void in Texana and Texas history, the Texas A&M University Press edition of Natalie Ornish’s Pioneer Jewish Texans brings back into circulation this treasure trove of information on a rich and often overlooked vein of the multifaceted story of the Lone Star State.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"This project has as its purpose an exploration of the part played by the first United States Senator from Texas, Thomas J. Rusk, in securing for Texas and the nation the benefits received from the Compromise of 1850, including, most especially, the settlement of the Texas boundary dispute. The Compromise of 1850 had an enormous national significance; it temporarily calmed the sectional hostility between North and South over the issues of slavery and thus postponed the outbreak of a civil war for more than ten years. Rusk's actions and accomplishments are therefore discussed in relation to their impact on the national scene. The findings discussed herein will show that Rusk played a very prominent role in obtaining passage of the compromise legislation, a contribution almost completely overlooked in previous studies. Additionally, those findings indicate that Rusk induced from the United States a highly beneficial concession to the Texas territorial claims. Finally, the indications are clear that without a settlement of the Texas boundary dispute, a compromise of any sort was not likely to be achieved. The effort's focus is primarily limited to the events surrounding the transactions of the 1st Session of the 31st United States Congress (December, 1849 to September, 1850), especially those transpiring in the United States Senate."--Abstract, page vi
