My Story Starts
Me and my family moved here for
cheap land and to start over. Also
Stephen Austin gave us 3 years to
pay off our land.
What a good man
This is our first home we built on Austin’s land.
My story starts
Our family traveled from the East
which took a long time. But it was
worth it because we received 1200
acres of land!!! What a bargain!!!!
This is our families buggy which we used to travel to Austin’s Colony.
1822
This is the first year invested and
bought 650.00$ worth of crops
because there was a large need for
lumber. Along with that we also had
a harsh winter.This is my husband at the lumber mill where he works.
1822
Also in this year many cattle died and
the Lively was late arriving so we
used our recourses wisely. But luckily
Stephen Austin’s plan allowed us
some extra money to keep things
going
This is our 1200 acres and some of the cattle that survived.
1823
1823 was a good year. The only thing
was that the Lively ended up
sinking . And there was a dispute
with the Mexicans which caused an
over export of cotton. That was the
damper on things.
1823
Some of the good things this year was
that we got $1200 for cattle!!!!!! We
also had a mild winter along with a
small demand for lumber!!! A
wonderful year for lumber!!!!
This is our mild winter down by our creek
1824
This year our colony thrived a little.
Also there was a high demand for
lumber so there was A LOT of
building!!!!!! But there wasn’t that
many Indian attacks
This is one of the only Indian attacks on our village.
1824We also had a bumper cotton crop
which is a very spectacular crop for
this year. And a high demand for
beef so that took out a little chunk of
our money but that doesn’t matter
because we have Austin’s plan! This is one of our cotton plants ready for harvest.
Closure
We where very successful the past
three years and are very happy about
our progress. Our only major downers
where the Indian attacks, harsh
winters, and the Lively sinking.
But other than that th
ey where good
years. :D
ClosureI think our family will stay in Austin’s
Colony. There are really nice people
here and the prices are excellent!!
I LOVE AUSTIN’S
COLONY!!!!!!
