Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mirabeau Buonaparte Lamar: A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy This life of Mirabeau B. Lamar was begun while the writer was a graduate student in the University of Texas, and at the suggestion of Professor Eugene C. Barker, Professor of American History. It was continued and completed at the University of Pennsylvania, where it was accepted as part of the requirements for the degree of doctor of philosophy. The excuse for such a study need hardly be expressed. The history of Texas and the Southwest is just now beginning to be written as a result of special investigation in different fields of Southwestern history. And with all the monographs, mostly dealing with pre-revolutionary days, very few have been devoted to a study of the few years when Texas was an independent republic. Stephen F. Austin is known for his sterling character and his masterly work as a colonizer and transplanter of American civilization; Sam Houston is known for his spectacular military achievements; and that is about as far as the general knowledge extends with regard to the "Critical Period" in Texas history. Many people in the East have no realization of the fact that Texas was one time an independent republic. And the ignorance with regard to Texas even among Texans is enough to justify one more historical study with a view to eliminating that ignorance. It seems that Lamar has been allowed to suffer more than others by the general tendency of people to forget their notables. Colonel of Cavalry at San Jacinto, Secretary of War in the provisional cabinet immediately after San Jacinto, appointed by the president and cabinet as commander-in-chief of the army, elected vice-president in 1836, and president in 1838, Lamar was not less important in establishing Texan independence than other characters who have received more notice. It is not intended that this shall be a complete biography. The interest of the writer was more along the lines of the connection of Lamar with public affairs until the close of his administration as president in 1841, though for sake of clearness and completeness, the early life and the life of the subject of the paper is sketched briefly.
