the guys in hood texas brigade, most of them were not born in texas. you think about the timing in the 19th century that makes sense. ost of them came from southern families, who had made their way antebellum period, particularly in the 18 50ss, some had made their way very in the 1830s, part of the texas revolution but the vast majority of them were not born texas. they were not native born but aztecsry much identified arians and they had fun kind of did -- as texans and they had fun kind of working the image. raised in the city but everybody thought they should do t and so they did it and the ladies seemed to like it. 2/3 of the men came from what consider middle class families. they tended to be fairly well-educated. of them were farmers, not surprising for the 19th century but you'll also see blacksmiths, teachers, a host of lawyers were in the texas brigade. most of them came from rural areas. again, not too surprising for the 19th century but a lot of came from houston, galveston, the dallas area. hen it comes to what really kind of united them p

at the time of the texas revolution, there are about 5000 slaves in texas. i know this is carrying over from one chapter to another in the book, but there are only about 5000 slaves by that time. by the time of the civil war -- -- the 1836 to 1860 number of slaves in texas has grown to 180,000. texas is part of the confederacy. soldiers for the confederate army in significant numbers, some of whom guard the coasts or the frontiers, but many of whom are off on battlefields. one brigade of white texas soldiers fights with robert e lee all the way in virginia. even larger groups serve in the confederate army's up and down the mississippi that are starting to stop -- that are trying to stop the union advance there. texans are overwhelmingly areederate -- white texans overwhelmingly confederate while slaves are hoping the union wins. some of them try to escape. even before the civil war, slaves from texas were trying and, in some cases, successfully escaping into mexico across the rio grande because that was freedom from slavery for them. that is going to continu

west texas., geographically it shifts and now it runs somewhere west of fort worth to, of course, new mexico border. usually it doesn't include far west texas, big end and el paso region. we included that in our book. environment of west texas pretty much dominates the region that might be truffe all areas but certainly environment texas dominates it. in our book the theme of environment seems to appear in most of the chapters the environment is -- or as chamber of commerce say subhuman. and in our area i'm not so much because they don't form cotton. here we raise cotton so the has a lot of dust in this area and wind. so the environment is windy -- it lacks rainfall. it suffers from extensive periods of drought. we have these periods of a few years of wet and then several years of dry. and when we talk about average yearly rainfall of about 18 inches -- well, we've got plenty of years of 13 or 9 and other years of 25 well some of the first settler who is came out here they came out in a wet cycle

history, but about texas history. we got him to write about west texas history.d if i say so myself, they did a pretty darn good job. >> as we continue to explore the lubbock literary scene, doctor katherine hayhoe shares her answer to questions of the christian faith often have about climate change. >> my name is katherine hayhoe and i'm a climate scientist arrested or climate change meao us in the places where we live. so often we think about climate change of global warming, we think it's about the polar bear of the people live on low-lying islands in the south pacific far way. the reality is climate change is affecting us right here with the and that's why it matters. our book came out about personal experiences. my husband pastors and evangelical church in west texas. after the people stood to find out what it's like to be stored as question. most people are asking the questions because he didn't want to come up to the pastors wife and say how can you believe in this climate change earth worshiping religion anyway? instead they went to my husband and asking

worth but also north texas and in texas. behind us is the ft. worth exchange building. the exchange building was, in fact, by its very name was had to do with the business of cattle because, in fact, you had the producer of the animal which was the ranch, the farmer, whoever it was out there but then that producer had to sell the animal to someone. in many cases they were being sold to armor and swift or in other cases to other ranches or other individuals. this building was built in 1902. it's a beautiful, beautiful building. it was one of the first buildings built by the ft. worth stockyard's company, which was the company that built the infrastructure around in this area. the infrastructure had to provide for not only the maintenance of the distals and there were like 80 acres of stalls but it had to provide the business operation which meant that the commission, what evolve is a commission company that for a commission for a piece of the action, they would connect the person or the company, they'll raise the animal to the purchaser. they got a commission out of that

of texas.re are not many, maybe seven or eight in the entire nation. but they grade this cotton based on primarily ate different -- eight different fibers. the strength, the caller -- color, the length of the fibers. there are all of these different factors when growing cotton, when with corn and wheat it is mostly moisture and externals. we have a bale of cotton here that was grown on my farm, and we show the grade and explain all the different factors that make that grade up. so when you put these combinations into play, you can end up with a lot of different combinations in play. good in oureen life. we owned and operated a cotton gin after teaching agriculture in high school for 11 years. we got into managing the cotton gin, and later buying in shares of it, and later on 100% of it. we went from a very small gin, es our first year to 116000 and 2007. average in5,500 bale 2010, so a lot of growth. but the county i was in, just to give you some scope of the cotton gin, we had 34 operating gin

it was always texas a&m. but like so many others, what should have been an outstanding experience just turned sour. one night while hosting a christmas party at her own apartment, she was raped. that is correct, mr. speaker. she was sexually assaulted. so when she woke up the next morning, she didn't remember how a portion of that night ended. bruises, scratches covered her arms, her legs and her clothing was ripped and torn. so doing everything that i think a rape victim should do, she had a rape kit conducted just a few hours later. he hospital nurse ended abie's sane -- abby's sane exam. that stands for sexual assault nurse examiner. and she told her, i'll see new court, describing it as the most evidence that she had ever seen. aby thought she had a good -- abby thought she had good case against her assailant. she was advised by the college station police department to seek justice through the school and proceed to file her report through them. so she filed the report, the university called a hearing. the

i worked in the texas house of representatives and the texas senate for about three decades. i love that kind of work. i'm very talented at that kind of work. regrettably, it has become very .ge discriminatory and because i am now in my 50's, it is very difficult for me to persuade a member to rehire me. so i am very much right now on the outside looking in. and not prospering very well. lots of financial stresses. , when you are in your late 50's and you do not have a college degree, employers are not clamoring to hire you. so i have had to do a lot of menial work, working in retail and other types of jobs, just trying to keep my head above water. a mist of setting struggle and i have suffered greatly with it to this very day. brian: do you have a family? gregory: no wife. no children. brian: go back to the beginning of this again. what was the reaction after you got your c and you are going to try to get this amendment passed. how did you start? went to the 1981 tax break that the public found out about, even though they tried to hide it in a bill to benefit the coal miners

but the texas law didn't stand. women's constitutional rights did. that supreme court ruling sent a strong message, one women have been making for years and one we continue to make clear today. politicians have no business interfering with a woman's most personal decisions. unfortunately, many people on the right continue to ignore that message. unfortunately they have continued to push for damaging, extreme policies that ignore the supreme court and the constitution and women across the country. from day one president trump and vice president pence have made it clear that turning back the clock on women's health and reproductive rights is a top priority for them. the recently proposed harmful domestic gag rule on federal family planning funds that was designed to restrict access to health care for women interfere with the care provider's ability to talk about the full range of reproductive health services with their patients, and ultimately make it harder for women to exercise their health care choices and constitutional rights, and that is just the
