Adoption of Historical Texas Documents |
The San Jacinto Chapter #1 of The Sons of the Republic of Texas was given the privilege
of adopting the 1836 Draft of the Republic of Texas Constitution,
which is held in the archives of the General Land Office. The history of this interesting
document has been carefully researched by Mr. Jerry C. Drake, and he has graciously
shared his research paper with us. The chapter was also able to adopt an old map
known as “Harris County Sketch File 3, Perkins Island - San Jacinto River”,
which is an 1857 depiction of the bays, estuaries and islands around the San Jacinto
Battleground. |
