1. Pairing of the Historic Flags of Texas and Flavors
First Official Flag, First Official Jerky
FIRST FLAG- When the first Republic of Texas Constitution was written, declaring Independence from Mexico, a new flag
was created. A defiant, lone star labeled "Texas". This was to be considered the first official flag of the Republic of
Texas and also ended up on the back of Republic of Texas Currency.
FIRST JERKY- Also referred to as “Ol’ #12” this was our first beef jerky and the base for our other flavors. Hand cut,
choice meat it’s simple, bold and delicious. Making a statement every time you take a bite: “This is Texas beef jerky and
it’s here to stay.”
1824 Alamo Battle Flag
In late 1835 representatives of the 13 Texan settlements met in Austin to discuss their previous choice to declare
independence from Mexico in hopes to avoid a war. They agreed to remain a part of Mexico under the one circumstance
that they may enjoy the basic rights of the 1824 Mexican Constitution. This variation of the Mexican flag was flown
over the Alamo as clear and strong message of defiance to the Mexican dictator, Santa Anna, who completely disregarded
the constitution.
ALAMO BLACK PEPPER- With a flavor as bold as the men who fought at the Alamo, this jerky stands strong to the
very end. Fresh cracked black pepper and a mild heat will keep you satisfied with every bite, Stand up for your right to
jerky.
INDEPENDENCE
The idea of Independence was beginning to gain the support of many by the mid-1830's. What started as a general
theme in Texas quickly became a movement and its followers came to be known as independence radicals. Captain Scott,
being a radical himself, was against delay, dialog and negotiation. Wanting immediate independence from Mexico, He made
this flag. It was his bold statement to the issues in Texas at the time.
TEXAS HEAT- Since not everyone can enjoy the heat of the Texas sun all the time we decided to put it into our jerky.
With just the perfect amount of pepper and spices you can feel the heat of Texas in every bite. You want jerky. We
got it.
LIBERTY OR DEATH
2. The defiant spirit of Texas began to capture the imagination of people all over the U.S. During the desperate time
between the massacre at the Alamo and the victory at San Jacinto this flag was made by Joanna Troutman, a young
girl from Macon, GA, for a group of Georgians headed to Texas to support the Independence movement. The flag was
raised at Velasco as an inspirational message of Texan's willingness to die for their cause.
HOT AS TEXAN SPIRIT- Cracked black pepper and a combination of some of the country’s hottest peppers create a
mild heat that builds as you eat and makes this jerky a must for all heat seekers. The spirit of Texas burns proudly in
every bag. United we stand for Jerky
