The Texas Pilgrim was founded in April 2000 as a personal letter of commentary on public policy, current events, philosophy, books, and American culture, based on the premise that ideas have consequences and with an objective to engage readers in a dialogue on the critical issues of our time and the ideas that drive them. For 22 years it was published monthly, eleven issues annually, excluding December, when it was converted to a blog.
Now, after almost 25 years, 1200 essays, and over 250 monthly editions and a book, effective in January 2025, The Texas Pilgrim will begin a new phase–without a self imposed publication deadline, but with spontaneous posts as events dictate, and still committed to a dialogue on the ideas that drive American culture and politics.
And, as always, feedback and commentary are welcomed and encouraged.
Thanks for joining in, welcome aboard, and please let me have your comments.
