Pioneers

When Stephen F. Austin came to Texas in 1821, it was a great wilderness. Huge herds of buffalo and antelope, of black cattle and wild mustangs, roamed the prairies. In all Texas there were only a few thousand people, most of them Indians. Austin brought settlers into this vast country; he worked to make the wilderness into thriving farms and cities; he dreamed big dreams for Texas and helped those dreams to come true.
