| Summary | "Under Six Flags: The Story of Texas" by M. E. M. Davis is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work chronicles the rich and diverse history of Texas, from its romantic beginnings steeped in exploration and colonization to its struggles for independence. The narrative likely highlights key figures and events that shaped the state’s identity and development over the centuries. The opening of the book introduces the remarkable tale of Robert Cavalier, Sieur de la Salle, who, in the late 17th century, set out from France to establish a colony in the New World. The chapter outlines La Salle’s explorations and challenges as he inadvertently discovers Texas, his aspirations to colonize the rich lands, and the harsh realities faced by him and his followers. It paints a vivid picture of the early struggles for survival against the elements and Indigenous tribes, setting the stage for the complex interactions between European settlers and Native Americans that defined Texas history.
