Today on Texas History for Kids, we explore the legacy of a man who didn’t set out to be a hero—but inherited it…sort of.
A man who didn’t seek power—but helped build a nation.
His name is Stephen F Austin and he was in charge of starting a new country, called the Republic of Texas, and making all the rules for it.
