Thus it was that on April 4, 1840, seven men assembled at 10:00 o'clock in the morning at Carlos' City Exchange, accepting a life-or-death, or let it die forever. The seven men were Thomas M. League, Henry R. Allen, George Gazely, John W. Pitkin, Charles Kesler, E.S. Perkins, and Dewitt C. Harris. This meeting resulted in the formation of a Chamber of Commerce, through which the people of Houston might enter into a voluntary teamwork to deal with their problems.
