Last stop of This trip, yesterday at Goliad at The Hanging Tree! An official Texas Historic Landmark, the Goliad Hanging Tree is a symbol of justice, Texas-style. For 24 years the court trials of Goliad County were held under this big oak tree. Death sentences were carried out promptly, usually within a few minutes, courtesy of the trees many handy noose-worthy branches. The tree also served as a gallows for a number of impromptu lynchings during the 1857 Cart War between Texans and Mexicans.
