SUMMARY:Texas Secessionists Standoff; the 1997 Republic of Texas "War"
DESCRIPTION:The quiet community of Fort Davis in Far West Texas isn’t accustomed to receiving national attention. But in the spring of 1997\, a sea of satellite news trucks sprang up just outside of town when Richard McLaren and members of his separatist “Republic of Texas” militia took his neighbors Joe and Margaret Rowe hostage in their own home in the nearby Davis Mountain Resort. Join us this month as author Donna Marie Miller\, shares this dramatic true crime story based on archival research and oral interviews she conducted with persons involved—including McLaren\, who has been incarcerated since 1998. Don’t miss it! \nDonna Marie Miller is the author of two nonfiction books\, Texas Secessionists Standoff; the 1997 Republic of Texas “War\,” and The Broken Spoke; Austin’s Legendary Honky-Tonk. Her freelance articles have appeared in Americana Rhythm\, Austin Monthly\, Cowgirl\, Creative Screenwriting\, Texas Highways\, and former Third Coast magazines. Early in her career\, she worked nine years as a newspaper reporter covering general assignment\, entertainment\, and crime beats at three Texas daily newspapers\, including The El Paso Herald-Post\, The El Paso Times\, and The Amarillo Globe-News. Miller also taught secondary-level journalism courses for 24 years in several school districts before retiring from teaching in 2013. Currently\, she is collaborating with film producer Cynthia Uhrich to write a television series adaptation of Texas Secessionists Standoff. A book signing will follow the talk. \nClick here to register for Zoom!
