Seventy million dollars in fifty-five years. From Texas' annexation in 1845 until the turn of the twentieth century, the US Army pumped at least that much or more into the economy of the fledgling state. In The U.S. Army and the Texas Frontier Economy, 1845-1900, Thomas T. Smith sheds light on just who bankrolled the evolution of Texas into viable statehood.
