George Bonnell was a failed newspaperman,
incompetent militia leader, and one time author who
arrived in Texas after the War for Independence and
briefly lived in Austin. Lieutenant Joseph Bonnell was
an officer in the Texas Army, friend of Sam Houston,
colleague of Albert Sidney Johnston, and a Hero of
the War for Texas Independence.

arrived in Texas after the War for Independence and
briefly lived in Austin. Based on limited research
done in 1969, the Texas Historical Commission
maintains that Mount Bonnell was named for
George Bonnell.

Based on limited research done in 1969, the Texas
Historical Commission maintains that Mount Bonnell
was named for George Bonnell. Ten years of

Based on limited research done in 1969, the Texas
Historical Commission maintains that Mount Bonnell
was named for George Bonnell. Ten years of
additional research prove conclusively that the THC is
wrong. The new research is endorsed by the Texas
State Historical Association, the director of the Texas
Military Forces Museum, and the President of the
Moses Austin Chapter of the Sons of the Republic of
Texas.http://www.west-point.org/joseph_bonnell/mt-bonnell_narrative_history
George Bonnell arrived in Texas after the War for
Independence. The Texas Historical Commission
improperly maintains that he fought in the war.

George Bonnell wrote a book about Texas
geography. In it he mentions that “above the city of
Austin is a high peak called Mount Bonnell.”
He made no claim that the mountain was named for
him.

The new research, done by the West Point Society of
Central Texas proves that Mount Bonnell was really
named for Lieutenant Joseph Bonnell, an officer in
the Texas Army, friend of Sam Houston, colleague of
Albert Sidney Johnston, and a Hero of the War for
Texas Independence.

The Texas Historical Commission refuses to hold a
hearing of the new evidence.
