Title: The Yellow Rose of Texas&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Comments: The Emily Morgan hotel was named after a beautiful mulatto woman who was &quot;keeping company&quot;  with Mexican General Santa Anna when Sam Houston launched the successful attack that won Texas independence at San Jacinto. The story goes that she was actually a Texas spy, sent in to make love to the General so that he would be distracted.  She was actually the &quot;Yellow Rose of Texas&quot; that is described in the famous song.&lt;br /&gt;
