I just passed the statue last weekend. I was always fascinated by it when I was a kid. Still am!

There's so much history, beautiful scenery and fantastic food in Texas. Texans are indeed fortune.

Nice. I lived in Huntsville for five years. I was awakened every morning by the horn at the Walls unit. I only lived three blocks away.

Always enjoy your videos and like to learn more about the history of Texas, the good, bad and ugly parts too.

I see the poster for the inmate Clyde Thompson (A.K.A The Meanest Man in Texas). A book and movie was made after him, The Meanest Man in Texas.

I'm interested in architecture. Can anyone tell me what the two tower looking structures were used for in the steamboat house? Nice video.

You should visit the Stephen F. Austin statue in Angleton. I believe was created by the same artist as this one.

@andyleo8418 2 года назад

I see this huge statue every time a drive on I-45.

Good ol' Sam. I admired his guts for refusing to vote for secession. You ever hear of the warden of Huntsville state prison called Bear tracks? Supposedly said to all new inmates, " I am the Bear and this is my track", as he dug his boot into the ground.
