Particularly in the pre-war issues, there are literally dozens of memoirs, biographies, and historical essays of great value. Most of these articles were written from interviews with participants, or by the participants themselves. Much of our surviving eyewitness information on the Texas Revolution and Republic of Texas appears in the Richardson almanacs, as well as a vast amount of economic and statistical data” (Jenkins).
