136 years ago today, one of the greatest native Texans was born. In Denison, Texas, on October 14, 1890, Dwight David "Ike" Eisenhower was born.

Ike would go on to serve in the U.S. Army beginning in 1915 and, in 1919, participated in a U.S. Army transcontinental convoy expedition that highlighted the need for better roads in America as automobiles became increasingly commonplace. In 1942, by then a major general, Ike was appointed commander of Allied forces in the North African Theater of Operations, where he oversaw Operation Torch and, eventually, Operation Avalanche and the invasion of Italy. In December 1943, he was appointed Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force and tasked with Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Western Europe, beginning with D-Day on June 6, 1944.

Following the war, Ike remained in the Army and rose to become Army Chief of Staff before running for, and winning, the 1952 presidential election, becoming the 34th President of the United States and serving from 1953 to 1961.

Texas History Spotlight: October 9, 1871

155 years ago today, Governor Edmund J. Davis imposed martial law on Freestone County during the Reconstruction era.

The order came in response to reports of coercion and fraudulent voting in the county seat of Fairfield during the election held October 3-6. Martial law remained in effect for about a month and was lifted on November 10.

Freestone County was one of only four Texas counties placed under martial law during Reconstruction, a reminder of how contested elections and the exercise of state power were during that turbulent period.

Texas History Spotlight — October 4, 1876

150 years ago yesterday, a new college welcomed its very first class of students — laying the foundation for what would become one of the largest universities in the nation.

On the recommendation of former Confederate president Jefferson Davis, Thomas S. Gathright became the first president of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas — known today as Texas A&M University. That same day, an initial class of just 106 students began attending classes.

The growth since then has been staggering. By the fall of 2017, Texas A&M had swelled to 68,625 students, making it the largest university in Texas and one of the largest in the entire nation.

From a single class of 106 to tens of thousands of Aggies — a reminder of how far one institution can grow in a century and a half.

Texas History Spotlight — October 2, 1835

191 years ago today, the first shots of the Texas Revolution rang out over a small cannon in Gonzales.

The dispute traced back to 1831, when Mexican authorities had given Gonzales a small cannon for defense against Indian raids. By 1835, tensions between American colonists and the Mexican government had grown sharp enough that Domingo de Ugartechea, the military commander in Texas, demanded the cannon's return. When the settlers refused, he dispatched Francisco de Castañeda and 100 dragoons on September 27 to retrieve it by force.

Castañeda tried to avoid a clash, but on the morning of October 2, his troops collided with local Texan militia led by John Henry Moore. The fighting was brief — Castañeda and his men retreated — but the skirmish marked an unmistakable break between the colonists and Mexico. The settlers' defiant banner, reading "Come and Take It," became one of the most enduring symbols of the Texas Revolution.

What began as a dispute over a single cannon in a small settlement ignited a war that would reshape the future of Texas.

Texas History Spotlight — October 1, 1837

189 years ago today, a young land commissioner opened the doors of what would become one of the most consequential offices in Texas government — the General Land Office, in Houston.

John P. Borden, who had surveyed and laid out the town of Houston alongside his brother Gail Borden Jr. the year before, took on the role of the office's first commissioner. His task was massive: compiling and preserving the many Spanish and Mexican land titles issued before the Republic of Texas existed. He started with no funds and no staff, yet by the end of 1837 he had already gathered documents from across the state, while also registering and surveying new grants.

In 1839, Borden relocated the General Land Office to Austin, hauling nearly 5,000 pounds of documents there by wagon. Over the years, the military bounties, veteran donations, headrights, and homestead preemptions issued by Borden and the commissioners who followed him amounted to more than 75 million acres granted to individual Texans.

From a one-man operation with no budget to the records foundation of Texas land ownership — a reminder of how much of our state's history runs through the paperwork of its earliest public servants.
