Introduction edit

I write mostly about 19th-century history American history, especially Texas history, though I also like to crossover into Mexican history.

Thank you for all your work on Samuel May Williams. I don't know any more about him than I wrote originally, but I was surprised he didn't have his own article. I truly appreciate all your improvements. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 01:40, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
