In particular the au~hor wishes to ex~re_ss his. deep appreciation to Bishop Mariano S. Garnga_of Corpus ~hnstl for his constant encourage- ment and helpful suggestions; to Bishop Lawrence J. FitzSimon of Amarillo in whose care the Catholic Archives of Texas have been placed for his useful suggestions and his generous cooperation ; and to Arch- bishop Robert E. Lucey of San Antonio for his enduring interest and wholehearted support of the enterprise. Last but not least the State Council of the Knights of Columbus of Texas deserves more credit than anybody else for having initiated the vast project, consistently bent its efforts to its realization, generously financed the enterprise through twenty-five years, giving its money and its energy and lending its unwavering support and encouragement through all that time that the people of Texas, the lovers of the history of the State, and the generations yet unborn may be able to read the record of the glorious past that constitutes the proud heritage handed down to them through tears, sweat and suffering by the generations that have gone before.
