Piece of state history: from drawer to display case
'The fact that this would be our first experience in the realm of democracy takes the
document from valuable to priceless'

By AMY EIERMANN / The Dallas Morning News
AUSTIN – Eight pages of thin, yellow frayed paper that gave life to a fledgling proposition called the
Republic of Texas have been rediscovered by the state land office, 168 years after they were first hastily
penned.
"The most intriguing thing about this document is that it could possibly be the first time that the words
'Republic of Texas' were ever committed to paper," said Jerry Drake, director of archives and records for
the General Land Office.

except in one detail: the deceased, in this instance, are
casualties from the Boer war and first and second world wars.
