To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was after Moses Austin that the capital of Texas is named. He obtained the grant on condition of bringing in three hundred families to settle. Thus began a great movement of Americans to the Mexican state of Texas. By 1833 Mexican rule had become so unsatisfactory to the Amer- ican colonists that they rebelled and by 1836 had set up the independent republic of Texas. It was during this war that the massacre at the Alamo was committed by Mexicans under Santa Ana, March 6, 1836. The Texan garr...ison, under Col. Travis, Col. Bowie and the celebrated David Crockett, was besieged, overpowered and killed to the last man. Gen. Sam Houston, another famous Texan, defeated the Mexicans finally at San Jacinto and Texan independence was acknowledged by the United States, England and France. That is the story of Texan independence. The story of annexation to the United States leads on to the war of the United States with Mexico, the acquisition of the en- tire Pacific Coast of the United States (except Alaska), the discovery of the gold fields of California and the crea- tion of the United States into the richest nation in the world.
