Black Beans

about

"Black Beans" has its origins in Texas History. It's dedicated to the men of the ill-fated Mier Expedition (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mier_expedition), which took place in 1842. Of the military expedition, 176 men were taken prisoner by the Mexican Army. General Santa Anna ordered one in ten men to be killed (read the link for why). This led to the "Black Bean Episode," where the men drew from a pot of 159 white beans and 17 black beans. Those drawing black beans were executed. The victims are now buried just south of La Grange, Texas, where a monument stands to their memory.
