Our Unlikely Fathers - Signers of the Texas Declaration of Independence

"To my knowledge, no other person did more during his lifetime to preserve the great heritage of Texas than did Lou Kemp." Governor Price Daniel said that.What merited such a statement?Lou Kemp was the driving force behind placing markers at hundreds of historical sites for the Texas Centennial in 1936.He saw to it that over 100 of notable Texans were moved to places of honor in the Texas State Cemetery.He lead the fight to get the San Jacinto Monument built. And he wrote this book.It contains detailed biographies of each of the sixty signers of the Declaration. Four hundred sixty-two pages in all. Lou Kemp follows each man from his earliest days, to his arrival in Texas, his work at the convention and during the Texas Revolution, and all the way to his last days on Earth.If you think that sounds like dry reading, let me correct that notion.You can chalk it up to Divine Providence that these men were able to assemble in one room, refrain from killing each other and forge a nation.What
