Coahuila

Mario,

Where is "Coahuila de Zaragoza" present day?  Is it in Mexico or Texas?  The reason I am asking is this.  Most Chicanos, myself included, thought Ignacio Zaragoza was born in Texas.

  I knew, Coahuila comes from  Coatl = serpent and Huila = Bird. It is like "Serpent that flies "

  In Fact, Oficial name is "Coahuila de Zaragoza" because General Ignacio Zaragoza was born there.

  Not to get off this subject matter...... But does anyone know what "COAHUILA " mean? The people of Texas ( TEJAS ) were called "COAHUILTECANS" just wondering...The CADDOS say that *TEJAS* is a word from their language, I say not... 

  Later...
