To Chloe, Paige, and Grace— mavericks at home
WCT
.....
In a neat twist of fate, several of Samuel Maverick’s descendants became legendary political figures in Texas with an undeniable, well, maverick streak. His grandson, Maury Maverick Sr., was a pro-FDR congressman during the New Deal and one of San Antonio’s most controversial mayors. (Maury Maverick Sr. famously coined another term—“gobbledygook”—to describe his interactions with New Deal agencies.) Samuel Maverick’s great-grandson, Maury Maverick Jr., was a crusading lawyer, legislator, and newspaper columnist who championed free speech and civil rights. In many respects, the Maverick tradition is to San Antonio politics what the Kennedy tradition is to Boston politics—colorful, influential, and impossible to ignore.
For accurate information on the Maverick family and the term itself, see these sources: Turn Your Eyes Toward Texas: Pioneers Sam and Mary Maverick by Paula Mitchell Marks (Texas A&M University Press, 1989); “Mavericks Are Texas-Grown” by Leon Hale, Houston Chronicle, January 23, 2004; “The Last Maverick” by Jan Jarboe Russell, Texas Monthly (July 2003). Another go-to source is The Handbook of Texas Online (www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online), which has entries on multiple generations of the Maverick family as well as on the terms “mavericks” and “mavericking.”
