Cannon
In the December of 1842, Sam Houston ordered the archives moved from Austin. Angelina Eberly discovered this, and shot a cannon into the General Land Office Building, alerting the town. The people of Austin fought with the officials, and because of this woman firing the cannon, Austin is still the capital today. And this statue has been placed in Angelina Eberly's honor, which we managed to get a picture of as we wandered around the downtown area. ¶ posted by The Strange Little Geek Girl at 3:12 PM
