Welcome to Houston

The Spindletop oilfield, discovered on a salt dome formation south of Beaumont in eastern Jefferson County on January 10, 1901, marked the birth of the modern petroleum industry and forever changed the face of Texas and the world. As the Texas State Historical Association gathers in nearby Houston for its 105th annual meeting, we are mindful of the impact that the discovery of oil has had on our state and our society during the past century. Four different sessions at the meeting are devoted to the consideration of oil and its history--Labor in the Texas Oil Industry, Spindletop 100 Years Later, the Regulation of the Oil Industry, and How Energy History is Interpreted in Texas Museums. In addition, the Spindletop 2001 Commission has organized a preconference program in Beaumont on February 27 and 28 to consider the topic of the Texas Oil Story as Told by Hollywood.

Make your plans now to join us for three days of fun and fellowship in Texas history. Program chairman Anthony Knopp and his committee have organized an excellent slate of sessions. There will be programs on biography, family history, and oral history, the exploration of space and the mission frontier, Tejanos, African Americans, women, and Native Americans, and politics and military history. More than one hundred historians and students will present the findings of their research.

Thursdays Presidential Reception will be held at beautiful Bayou Bend, the former home of Miss Ima Hogg and now a part of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. The world-famous gardens will be at the height of their beauty in March, and tours of the historic mansion and its antiques and art will be available as well. We are extremely grateful to the Museum of Fine Arts for permitting us to have our reception at Bayou Bend.

Historian JoAnn Stiles of Lamar University will be the featured speaker at the Women and Texas History Luncheon at noon on Thursday. Author James Haley of Austin, who is completing a new biography of Sam Houston, will speak at the Awards Luncheon on Friday; TSHA president Al Lowman will speak at the annual Presidential Banquet on Friday evening, and Joyce Gibson Roach will speak at the Fellows Luncheon on Saturday.

Our 105th annual meeting will conclude with a tour of a portion of Sam Houstons route to San Jacinto in the spring of 1836, guided by Jeff Dunn of Dallas, who has been studying the route and the battleground for years.

Make your reservations now and join us in Houston for the 105th annual meeting of the Texas State Historical Association.

Preconference Program

On February 27 and 28, the Spindletop 2001 Commission and the Texas Energy Museum will offer a special, preconference program in Beaumont on The Texas Oil Story as Told by Hollywood. As anyone who has seen Edna Ferber's Giant can testify, this is a rich subject. In addition to viewing a special presentation of Boomtown, conference participants will hear presentations by Donald Staples of the University of North Texas, Peter Rollins of Oklahoma State University, William O. Huie Jr. of Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, David Whillock of Texas Christian University, and Janet Staiger and Don Graham of the University of Texas at Austin. The Texas Oil Story as Told by Hollywood is cosponsored by the Texas State Historical Association and the Beaumont History Conference, with generous support from the Summerlee Foundation and the Sun Oil Company. TSHA members will automatically receive an invitation to this special preconference program.

Tour of San Jacinto

Jeff Dunn, chairman of the San Jacinto Historical Advisory Board, will conduct a bus tour of the sites, landmarks, and twentieth-century commemorative markers associated with the final days of the San Jacinto Campaign of 1836. The tour will cover many sites off the tourist track, including Harrisburg (the second capitol of the Republic of Texas); Vince's Bayou near the site of the famous Vince's Bridge; the 1916 monument commemorating the site of Santa Anna's capture; Morgan's Point (then known as New Washington) where President David Burnet made his narrow escape from Col. Juan Almonte and James Morgan's housekeeper, Emily West, was captured; the site of Margaret McCormick's home (owner of the land on which the battle was fought); and strategic Lynch's Ferry where the Texan and Mexican armies converged. The tour also will cover the Texan and Mexican campsites and battle sites at the San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Park and conclude with a reception and tour at the San Jacinto Monument and Museum.
