Yea, but he got to Texas quick. And he was the President of the Republic of Texas. I think he counts.

That’s a good one. Know some of the Parker descendants. Walter Prescott Webb’s “Texas Rangers” is really good as well.

Way too many to list
But since all posters can’t comprehend what
“Greatest human being ever” means
I’ll start with the music theme….
Louis Armstrong
Fats Dominoe
Jerry Lee Lewis
Buddy Guy
Never mind…
There’s way too many greatest human beings from
The Great State of Louisiana
So I’ll stick with:
Louis Armstrong
And Richard Simmons
