Biography of Jose Antonio Navarro

Navarro was elected Senator in the First Legislature of the State of Texas, and had he been ambitious or desirous of monopolizing the confidence of his constituents, might have held this position of trust for his lifetime; but he voluntarily left the theater of his public honors after having served out his time in the First Legislature, and then retired to his rancho near the town of Seguin, Guadalupe County, to cultivate a piece of land for his subsistence, after having lost nearly all his wealth in the many revolutions that had taken place in Texas, and consequent on his long imprisonment in Mexico.
