The Black Bean Lottery: October ‘97 American History FeatureAmerican History | 2 comments | Print This Post | Email This Post *Following the Battle of San Jacinto in 1836 that ended the Texas Revolution, a vast expanse of territory remained in dispute between Mexico and the new Republic of Texas. While Texas claimed land as far south and west as the Río Grande, Mexico drew the border much farther north and east. The boundary was not settled until the end of the 1846-48 war between Mexico and the United States, which by then included the state of Texas. Peter F.

Do you have a list of those men who participated in the Black Bean Affair? Would it be appropriate to identify them and note where they are buried or what became of them?
I attended the memorial dedication of Ranger Samual McFall, a survivor of the affair. On 19 April of 2008, the Ranger marker was place by his headstone. He is buried in the Scott’s Chapel Cememtery, Hillsboro, TX.
I am not from Texas, but the Meir Expedition and the events of the affair was very moving. This past week I visited the Alamo and saw some of the documents relating to the affair.
