There is, in the State of Texas,
one surviving Lone Star flag
known to have flown in the service
of the Republic. Now in the keep-
ing of the Star of the Republic
Museum at Washington-on-the-
Brazos, it was carried to the Mexi-
can border with troops on a mission
from President Mirabeau B. Lamar.
This was in November of 1839, the
same year of the flag's design and
adoption. On the return journey, the
entire detachment was killed, per-
haps by bandits, and the flag was
taken to Ciudad Camargo, Mexico,
where it hung in the police station
for many years.
This flag, along with the original
drawing rendered by artist Peter
Krag, is among the many historic
artifacts and documents depicted in a
photo-and-text panel exhibit cele-
brating the 150 year anniversary of
the annexation of Texas as the
twenty-eighth stale of the United
States. This panel exhibit goes on
display this coming May 11 - 27,
at the Kingsland Library in a free
admission public humanities pro-
gram sponsored by The Kingsland
Friends of the Library.
