Coahuila and Zaragoza

[Mario Marquez]

Well, 
 
I’m sorry. I must correct information 
 
Coahuila de Zaragoza is in México.  Ignacio Zaragoza was born in Texas,
when Texas was part of Mexico.
 
Regards,

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...
