|
||
WHEREAS, The life and times of Sam Houston are the subject of | ||
a new documentary film, the first such project to be produced about | ||
one of the Lone Star State's most prominent founding fathers; and | ||
WHEREAS, From his birth in Virginia through his leadership in | ||
the Texas Revolution to his presidency and governorship of Texas, | ||
the film chronicles the fascinating story of this iconic figure; | ||
written by Sam Houston biographer James L. Haley, the documentary | ||
includes nearly 300 restored archival images and historical | ||
documents, many of them newly discovered, as well as original | ||
artwork that was commissioned specifically for the project; in | ||
their quest for historical accuracy, the filmmakers interviewed | ||
numerous prominent experts on Sam Houston and the era in which he | ||
lived; and | ||
WHEREAS, The movie was filmed at 29 locations significant to | ||
Mr. Houston's experiences and includes more than 200 reenactors; in | ||
addition, a substantial archival website has been launched in | ||
conjunction with the film; and | ||
WHEREAS, In focusing on the epic events of Sam Houston's | ||
life, this documentary promises to provide audiences with a better | ||
understanding of our state's rich and inspiring history, and the | ||
individuals who have labored to make the film a reality may take | ||
justifiable pride in their efforts; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate all those involved in the creation | ||
of the new documentary film about the life of Sam Houston and extend | ||
to them sincere best wishes for success; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the filmmakers as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives. | ||
