Land Rover Houston North

Christmas Eve 1837 was a time of great change for 30 members of the Killough family. The family had purchased a tract of land in East Texas and were leaving their homes in Alabama for Texas.

Little did they know this tract of land had been promised to the Cherokee Indians as part of the 1836 Houston-Bowles treaty. Texas was still a fledgling nation having just a year earlier won its independence from Mexico. There was still alot of hatred in Texas from those who wanted Texas to remain part of Mexico. This included many Mexicans, Blacks, Native Americans and some White men. One of the most vocal was Vincente Cordova.

Cordova was very upset with Texas' freedom and wanted nothing but to give Texas back to Mexico. He concocted a plan to get the Cherokee and other Northeastern Texas tribes stirred up he would force Texas to move its military into the region and allow Mexico easy access into Texas across the Rio Grande. Cordova was able to get the allegiance of Chief Bowles using the failed Houston-Bowles treaty as a focal point.
