[edit] Lincoln in Texas

The article said that there was also a state of Lincoln to be carved out of the territory of Texas in 1869, west and south of the Colorado River. The problem with this that I'm having is twofold: (1) I can find no support for this anywhere and (2) as far as I can determine, in 1869, all of Texas was either west or south of the Colorado River (which sliced off part of the narrow strip that is now in northern Colorado and southern Wyoming). I'm not sure whether or not this should be sent to WP:BJAODN or not. Tomer TALK 02:38, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

It's disputed and unreferenced, no need to subject it to BJAODN. - Keith D. Tyler 19:00, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
Except that I just found a reference: [1]. - Keith D. Tyler 19:01, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
Ah. Not that Colorado River, but this Colorado River. WP is just chock full of information, wouldn't you say? Restoring the text, having been saved from overzealous deletion. - Keith D. Tyler 19:06, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

hasn't the name cascadia been suggested?
