John "Johnny Appleseed" Chapman

John "Johnny Appleseed" Chapman - he wasn't just a myth or legend, but a real person who actually did spread apples across the early American frontier. Today is one of two unofficial Johnny Appleseed Days (the other being his birthday, September 25). We would like to honor this true American original. If you need an "apple" of an idea, visit us at http://www.mrscjacksonsclass.com/apples.htm .

Texas History-Alamo 3-6-1836


ON THIS DAY IN TEXAS HISTORY - MARCH 6th 1836

The chapel of San Antonio de Valero Mission, under siege for thirteen days by the Mexican army under General Antonio Lòpez de Santa Anna, was subjected to an early morning assault. After a fierce battle, lasting for perhaps some 90 minutes, the defenses of the Alamo were overrun and all the defenders were killed. The slogan "Remember the Alamo!" subsequently became a rallying cry for the Texas Revolution, and the Alamo became a shrine to fallen Texas heroes.

Happy Texas Independence Day-March 2


 Happy Texas Independence Day-March 2

On this day in 1836, Texas became a republic. On March 1 delegates from the seventeen Mexican municipalities of Texas and the settlement of Pecan Point met at Washington-on-the-Brazos to consider independence from Mexico. George C. Childress presented a resolution calling for independence, and the chairman of the convention appointed Childress to head a committee of five to draft a declaration of independence. In the early morning hours of March 2, the convention voted unanimously to accept the resolution. After fifty-eight members signed the document, Texas became the Republic of Texas. The change remained to be demonstrated to Mexico.
