Description
Known as “The Father of Texas,” Stephen F. Austin brought the first 300 immigrant families to Texas to populate his settlement, the Austin Colony, in 1825; these families became known as the Old Three Hundred. In 1836, he was appointed by Sam Houston as the first secretary of state of the Republic of Texas, but he died after two months in office. Ney's 1893 and 1903 busts are variations on the full-size figure of Austin.
