Did you know?

            Did you know that the song Yellow Rose of Texas was written about a mulatto prostitute? She was keeping Generalissimo Santa Ana occupied in the middle of the afternoon; he had given orders that NO one should disturb him. Meanwhile the Texican (that’s what they called themselves) forces snuck across the river and attacked the camp winning a major victory and in effect the war. There have been many stories of Ladies of the Evening bringing men of high places down (both literally and figuratively), but here is a case, where a working girl was instrumental in creating one of our favorite states. Keep up the good work, girls.
