Texas Tales

Love, Loss, and the Lone Star Dream: Jane and James Long

Fun, lively, partially accurate history of Texas

We love hearing from our fans!

 Join us as we delve into the daring exploits of James Long, the audacious Texas filibuster who dreamed of claiming Texas for himself. From high-stakes missions to untimely ends, Long's adventures epitomize the ambition and chaos of the early Texas frontier. But the story doesn't end there—meet Jane Long, his incredible wife and a Texas legend in her own right. Known as the "Mother of Texas," Jane's resilience, determination, and pioneering spirit make her story just as compelling. Together, their tales weave a fascinating narrative of risk, rebellion, and resilience in the Lone Star State.
