TEXAS, 1836 – The Alamo was history, and rebellious Texians set about creating a nation after winning the final battle with Mexico at San Jacinto. In 1836 Texas became an independent republic sandwiched between Mexico and the still young United States of America. Within a decade, Texas would join its neighbor to the east as the 28th state.
Artifacts, documents and personal items from key figures of that era will go on display Oct. 19 at Sterling Bank’s 6th Annual Republic of Texas Exhibit.
The Dallas Historical Society, which is curating the exhibit, is drawing rarely displayed treasures from its archives to show with other historic items from Sterling Bank’s own Lex Johnston Republic of Texas Collection for the display.
