An examination of the career of Texas Ranger and immigration official William Hanson illustrating the intersections of corruption, state-building, and racial violence in early twentieth century Texas. At the Texas-Mexico border in the 1910s and 1920s, William Hanson was a witness to, and an active agent of, history. As a Texas Ranger captain and then a top official in the Immigration Service, he helped shape how US policymakers understood the border, its residents, and the movement of goods and people across the international boundary. An associate of powerful politicians and oil company executives, he also used his positions to further his and his patrons' personal interests, financial and political, often through threats and extralegal methods. Hanson’s career illustrates the ways in which legal exclusion, white-supremacist violence, and official corruption overlapped and were essential building blocks of a growing state presence along the border in the early twentieth century. In this book, John Weber reveals Hanson’s cynical efforts to use state and federal power to proclaim the border region inherently dangerous and traces the origins of current nativist politics that seek to demonize the border population. In doing so, he provides insight into how a minor political appointee, motivated by his own ambitions, had lasting impacts on how the border was experienced by immigrants and seen by the nation.

"In his introduction to this manuscript, John Weber describes how, throughout his years of research on his earlier book on South Texas, he kept coming across the figure of William Hanson (1866-1931). Hanson appeared in reports of efforts to eliminate Mexican American voting in South Texas, in accusations of wrongdoing by Texas Rangers, and elsewhere. It wasn't until Weber completed his first book that he was able to go back into the archives, start pulling on threads, and begin to piece together a fuller picture of Hanson's life and activities. This project contains the fruits of his investigation. This is not a full biography of Hanson (the existing records do not really allow that), but rather a study of his activities in the 1920s and how they help us better understand the history and politics of the Texas-Mexico border. As Weber explains, Hanson was a close witness to history during these years, as well as an active agent of it. He was a captain in the Texas Rangers, an associate of Albert Bacon Fall, and the top official in the Immigration Service at the time of the creation of the Border Patrol. From these various positions and with the help of his powerful patrons, Hanson helped shape the ways that U.S. policymakers understood the border, its residents, and the movement of goods and people across the international boundary"--

Download The Plan de San Diego Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The Plan of San Diego, a rebellion proposed in 1915 to overthrow the U.S. government in the Southwest and establish a Hispanic republic in its stead, remains one of the most tantalizing documents of the Mexican Revolution. The plan called for an insurrection of Mexicans, Mexican Americans, and African Americans in support of the Mexican Revolution and the waging of a genocidal war against Anglos. The resulting violence approached a race war and has usually been portrayed as a Hispanic struggle for liberation brutally crushed by the Texas Rangers, among others. The Plan de San Diego: Tejano Rebellion, Mexican Intrigue, based on newly available archival documents, is a revisionist interpretation focusing on both south Texas and Mexico. Charles H. Harris III and Louis R. Sadler argue convincingly that the insurrection in Texas was made possible by support from Mexico when it suited the regime of President Venustiano Carranza, who co-opted and manipulated the plan and its supporters for his own political and diplomatic purposes in support of the Mexican Revolution. The study examines the papers of Augustine Garza, a leading promoter of the plan, as well as recently released and hitherto unexamined archival material from the Federal Bureau of Investigation documenting the day-to-day events of the conflict.
