Filibusters In Texas

Gutierrez Magee Expedition

José Bernardo Maximiliano Gutiérrez de Lara (August 20, 1774 – May 13, 1841) was an advocate and organizer of Mexican independence and the first constitutional governor of the state of Tamaulipas, and a native of Revilla, today Ciudad Guerrero, Mexico.

Samuel Kemper Before any real action happened, Magee died. Samuel Kemper became the new leader. The expedition had its greatest success under Kemper. Salcedo, defeated in two attacks, went back to San Antonio.

The Gutiérrez-Magee or Magee-Gutiérrez expedition of 1812–13 was an early filibustering expedition against Spanish Texas. ... Many adventurers, some of whom hoped to win Texas for the United States, assembled at or near Natchitoches, Louisiana, to form the nucleus of an invading army.

Jean Lafitte

Jean Lafitte or Laffite (born in 1770 - date of death unknown) was a filibuster nationality French who scooped the Gulf of Mexico in the early nineteenth century.

James Long

James Long (February 9, 1793 – April 8, 1822) was an American filibuster who led an unsuccessful expedition to seize control of Spanish Texas between 1819 and 1821.

Entrepreneurs like Philip Nolan and Peter Bean (filibusters) came to Texas in 1800 to make money capturing and selling wild horses. Unfortunately for them, this was against the law. Spanish troops captured several of them. The Spanish wanted to keep people like Nolan and Bean out of Texas.

It was led by James Long and successfully established a small independent government, known as the Republic of Texas (distinct from the later Republic of Texas created by the Texas Revolution). The expedition crumbled later in the year, as Spanish troops drove the invaders out.

James Long, a doctor and merchant, was placed in charge, and about 300 men paid subscriptions to be part of the expedition in exchange for the promise of land in the planned "Republic of Texas." The ragtag army occupied Nacogdoches on June 23, 1819, and declared Texas to be an independent republic.
