A few people may remember seeing the name Dilue Rose Harris in history
books, but no one ever heard of her mother, Margaret Deliens Wells Rose. She
came to Texas with her husband, Dr. Pleasant Rose, who was searching for yet
another golden opportunity. The settled part of Texas was vast, but the
population small.
Mrs. Rose met many of the people whose names are readily recognized. She
will share her experiences of the early days of Texas and offer her opinions
of people and events - opinions that sometimes differ from textbook
versions. Her sense of humor and earthy common sense flavor her descriptions
of "Deaf" Smith, David Burnett, Robert Williamson (Three-Legged Willie),
William Barret Travis, and perhaps General Sam Houston.
LaJuanna Faught shares Deliens’ stories
about the Texas Revolution from a … woman's … friend's … mother's point of
view.
