The biography of the famous Texas governor and patriot.

According to the official version, the name of the State of Texas comes from the word tasha, which in the Caddo indigenous language, spoken by the Indians of the Hasinai nation, means "friendship." This conclusion was reached by the American historian Herbert Eugene Bolton in 1907 based on the claim that, during the 1689 expedition led by Alonso de Leon, there was a meeting between Fray Damian Massanet and some Indians who said techas to them, as a sign of friendship. From the study of the bibliography, we find that in 1606 this territory was already called Tejas, fact that, by itself, invalidates the official version.Probably the name of the State of Texas has its origin in the word texa, or texo, as it was written in old Spanish. These were the names given to a very familiar, sacred tree in Spain. The Neches River was baptized at first with the name of River of the Texas because of the abundance of trees of this species that populated the river.
