CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX, in which Injun Joe finds the treasure

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX on Project Gutenberg

Injun Joe and his partner agree to leave St. Petersburg and head out for Texas.  At the time, Texas was not part of the union but it had already broken away from Mexico and existed as its own republic.  Since it was not part of the United States, Texas provided an escape for criminals and those wishing to avoid the long arm of the law. 

Your mission for this chapter:

Using this website: http://www.history.com/topics/texas/page4%23a6, answer the following question.  What were the two capitals of Texas and for whom were they named?
