Text of the page (random words):
spanish english and french and would serve as a translator for soldiers trappers and the priests the priests at the mission called her little angel or angelina in spanish the french call her angélique which has the same meaning she s a great historical figure said bob bowman the now deceased east texas historian and author it enriches east texas the angelina story jonathan gerland director of the history center in the small town of diboll says instead of first saying we re near lufkin i proudly say we re in southern angelina county the only county in the state named for a woman the earliest record of angelina comes from the journals of the expedition of alonso de león which arrived at the hainai village in may 1690 and founded that first franciscan mission according to d e chipman author of the texas history text spanish texas it was called san francisco de los tejas the main structure was built near the banks of the river now named for angelina the mission was constructed in response to several french ventures into the area concern that these encroachments would lead to french settlements caused the spanish to redirect their attention from exploring west texas to defending their eastern border as the mission had a dual purpose the strategic location was no accident overtly the spaniards were to spread their religion among the natives there were soldiers garrisoned to protect the mission from potential unfriendlies while scouts kept eyes on the french early in their efforts to convert the natives the spaniards led by father damian massanet found a native girl in an hainai village who according to roe possessed a bright intellect a striking appearance and friendly personality the date of the encounter is given as 1690 at a time when angelina would have been very young her birthdate is given as 1680 although there are no records to validate that when the young girl expressed a desire to learn the spanish language the missionaries obliged her then they enlisted her as a guide and translator the priests and soldiers of the mission were enamored by her friendliness and good nature so they dubbed her angelina or little angel in their writings they called the village where she lived angelina s village and they called the river angelina s river in 1693 three years after the spaniards befriended angelina she learned that warriors from a neighboring band were making plans to attack the priests and sack the mission conditions that year had been harsh and these natives were becoming less friendly as conditions worsened to avoid attack the spaniards immediately abandoned their efforts and prepared to flee westward according to william c foster writing in the text spanish expeditions into texas 1689 1768 father damián massanet torched the mission and fled angelina guided them to safety and continued with them to mexico there she continued her studies at the mission san juan bautista located on the rio grande the modern border between mexico and texas she remained at the mission for ten years then returned east to her childhood home the legend of angelina grew in those ten years and in the years following her name can be found in the documents of the spanish missionaries the diary entries of french trappers and the journals of explorers these writings are the only way we know of angelina the caddo had no written language angelina continued to serve as a guide and as an interpreter for the europeans a diary entry by an unnamed member from the party of the trader louis juchereau de st denis referenced a woman he called angélique who had been baptized by spanish priests who had been on a mission to their village the records from that expedition indicated that she had helped st denis hire guides from her tribe one unnamed spaniard wrote that his group had recourse to a learned indian woman of this hasinai tribe the spanish not prepared to cede east texas to the french spent the years planning a return according to chipman the mission effort in east texas had familiarized spaniards with the geography and indians of texas and convinced both church and government officials that future missions must be sustained by presidios and civilian settlements in 1716 the spanish returned in larger force building a chain of missions and settlements along the neches as part of their efforts they re established the old mission san francisco de los tejas it was a short lived effort lasting only three years until 1719 the spaniards had found themselves on the losing side of what became known as the chicken war as hostilities with the french escalated the spaniards abandoned the missions and again returned to mexico angelina having married a frenchman and given birth to two children remained some time later angelina is thought to have played some part in the rescue of a french officer francois simars de bellisle bellisle was unfortunate enough to be passenger on a ship which in 1719 missed its intended louisiana destination and became grounded on a sandbar near galveston bay bellisle and four companions asked to be put ashore so they could travel by foot back to the mississippi they badly misjudged as that great river was over 300 miles distant and over treacherous territory stranded and lost bellisle survived winter on a diet of worms shellfish and boiled grass his four companions did not fare as well dying either of starvation or exposure in the spring bellisle was taken captive by coastal natives who were not fond of the french the natives enslaved him and targeted him with increasingly harsh punishment he scavenged a scrap of paper managed to scribble a note using charred wood and give it to a passing group of hasinai he pleaded with them to give it to the first european they found st denis was the person they found and angelina is thought to have received the note from st denis she sent two warriors from her band to locate and rescue bellisle they were successful bringing him to their village where angelina nursed him to health bellisle wrote later of the time he spent with angelina while in recovery saying she served me with all the best she had and she had as much love for me as if i had been her child and this indian woman called angélique had lived with the spanish since her childhood that is why we understood each other so well once bellisle was healthy enough to travel angelina sent her two children to guide him to the nearest french settlement at some point the woman then known more commonly as angélique moved to new orleans with her husband it was there that she spent the remainder of her life although she was called angélique or angelica for the remainder of her life angelina s name did not die with the passing decades she is still remembered and revered in the piney woods of east texas in the angelina county seat of lufkin a statue stands proudly outside the civic center the 30 foot tall face of angelina looks across the city driving through the city you can see her image in murals covering entire sides of buildings the murals were designed and painted by local artist lance hunter who says i saw her as the starting point to represent the native american population and certainly her assistance with the early anglo settling of the region hunter describes the image in his first work by saying that the strands of her hair are reaching into the future his second work depicts angelina riding on the front of a train as mentioned earlier there are questions about this legend there are things we know about angelina yet so much of her life remains hidden from us her caddoan birth name is unknown she was baptized at a young age and given the spanish name angelina we know she took the french spelling of that name when she married charles françois dumont becoming angélique dumont we have records showing the couple had three children two girls and a boy her father was possibly bernardino who was the chief of the hasinai her death is recorded in 1759 and she died near the age of 80 after living a celebrated life her obituary called her angélique the indian princess dumont hasinai using the name of her tribe as her maiden name we know nothing of her history prior to her encounter with the spaniards angelina remains a romantic mystery some would say a legend when the caddo confederacy was first encountered by spanish explorers the records indicate that they had met a tribe called tejas pronounced tāy hăhs which translates from the hasinai language to mean friend this is the word from which texas derived its name and is the way mexicans still pronounce it the explorers were mistaken though the hasinai were not using the word to identify their tribe they were telling the europeans that they were friends and they proved to be just that there have been many brave and strong women in texas history but angelina may well have been the first in that history of true note the word tejas is symbolic of both the tribe and of the young hasinai maiden who befriended all whom she met https www aaanativearts com caddo confederacy http rocheteau org new_world louisiana louisiana_rocheteaus htm http www texastejano

breath 0 comments july 1 2020 the leo frank case the leo frank case is one of the most notorious and highly publicized cases in the legal annals of georgia a jewish man in atlanta was placed on trial and convicted of raping and murdering a thirteen year old girl who worked for the national pencil company which he managed before the lynching of frank two years later the case became known throughout the nation the degree of anti semitism involved in frank s conviction and subsequent lynching was enough of a factor to have inspired jews and others throughout the country to protest the conviction of an innocent man the murder mary phagan on april 26 1913 mary phagan the child of tenant farmers who had moved to atlanta for financial gain went to the pencil factory to collect her week s wages leo frank the superintendent of the factory paid her he was the last person to acknowledge having seen phagan alive in the middle of the night the factory watchman found her bruised and bloodied body in the cellar and called the police the city was aghast when it heard the news rumors spread that she had been sexually assaulted before her death the public demanded quick action and swift justice the evidence because eyewitness accounts placed both frank and phagan at the factory prior to her death police arrived at frank s home early on april 27 for questioning frank denied knowing phagan by name but police reported that he seemed nervous detectives then took frank to the morgue to view phagan s body and to the scene of the crime where they observed his behavior before concluding for the time being that he was not likely the murderer leo frank frank was not arrested until april 29 the evening of phagan s funeral when public outrage regarding her murder reached a fever pitch under pressure to solve the case detectives re examined information they had been given earlier a young worker said she did not see frank when she came in shortly after phagan to receive her pay despite frank saying he had stayed at the factory for at least twenty minutes after phagan left the night watchman said frank called the factory later in the day on april 26 to see if everything was alright which he had never done before on the basis of this evidence leo frank was arrested prior to frank s arrest four men were arrested in conjunction with phagan s murder between april 27 and 28 1913 arthur mullinax a streetcar conductor who was seen with phagan the night before she died newt lee the black night watchman who discovered phagan s body john gantt a former bookkeeper at the factory and gordon bailey an elevator operator at the factory on may 1 jim conley a black janitor at the pencil factory was arrested after he was found rinsing what appeared to be bloodstains out of a shirt however conley was not charged and was the state s main witness against frank providing at least four contradictory affidavits explaining how frank forced him to help dispose of phagan s body the trial based leo frank on trial mainly on the testimony of the janitor who had been held in seclusion for six weeks before the trial on orders from solicitor general hugh m dorsey the jury convicted the defendant frank s attorneys were unable to break conley s testimony on the stand they also allowed evidence to be introduced suggesting that frank had many dalliances with girls and perhaps boys in his employ atlantans hoped for a conviction they surrounded the courthouse cheered the prosecutor as he entered and exited the building each day and celebrated wildly when the jurors after twenty five days of trial found frank guilty the appeals within weeks of the trial s outcome in early september friends of frank sought assistance from northern jews including constitutional lawyer louis marshall of the american jewish committee marshall gave advice about what information to include in the appeal but frank s georgia attorneys ignored his counsel frank s lawyers filed three successive appeals to the supreme court of georgia and two more to the u s supreme court all on such procedural issues as frank s absence when the verdict was rendered and the excessive amount of public influence placed on the jury ultimately the u s supreme court still on procedural grounds denied frank s appeals however a minority of two oliver wendell holmes and charles evans hughes dissented they noted that the trial was conducted in an atmosphere of public hostility mob law does not become due process of law by securing the assent of a terrorized jury the governor s decision when leo frank marker all the court appeals had been exhausted frank s attorneys sought a commutation from georgia governor john m slaton thomas e watson a former populist and the publisher of the jeffersonian had conducted a campaign denouncing frank that struck a chord and georgians responded to it watson s accusations against jews and leo frank in particular increased the paper s sales and elicited enormous numbers of letters praising him and his publication as watson continued to fan the flames of public outrage his readership grew by the time slaton reviewed the case there was tremendous pressure from the public to let the courts verdicts stand slaton reviewed more than 10 000 pages of documents visited the pencil factory where the murder had taken place and finally decided that frank was innocent
