Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liberty or Death-the battle for the Republic of Texas American author Joseph Altsheler was well known for his exciting action stories set against notable periods in the history and wars of the United States of America. This book contains his complete and famous trilogy about the bloody birth of the Republic of Texas. In typical Altsheler fashion, the fictional protagonists struggle through their adventures against a backcloth of real events faithfully described and including the debacle of Goliad, the heroic stand behind the walls of the Alamo and the final victory at San Jacinto. A full cast of real people make appearances-from the major characters of Houston and Santa Anna, to figures of legend including Crockett, Bowie and Travis. Altsheler knew how to craft a rip-roaring adventure suitable for readers of all ages and this is an excellent opportunity to own and read this great series in one substantial and satisfying volume. Leonaur already publishes Altsheler books about the French and Indian War, the frontier conflicts of the colonial period beyond the Ohio River, the American Civil War, the American Indian Wars and the First World War. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.

Book Synopsis The Texas Revolution and the U.S.-Mexican War by : Paul Calore
Download or read book The Texas Revolution and the U.S.-Mexican War written by Paul Calore and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-04-04 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This narrative history describes the events preceding, and the prosecution of, the Texas Revolution and the U.S.-Mexican War. It begins with the introduction of the empresario system in Mexico in 1823, a system of land distribution to American farmers and ranchers in an attempt to strengthen the postwar economy following Mexico's independence from Spain. Once welcomed as fellow countrymen, the new settlers, homesteading on land destined to be called Texas, were viewed as enemies when in 1835 they revolted against the government's harsh Centralist rulings. Winning independence from Mexico and recognition from the United States as the independent Republic of Texas only intensified the Mexican refusal to accept their loss of Texas as legitimate. The final straw for both sides came when Texas was granted U.S. statehood and 11 American soldiers were ambushed and murdered. As a result, Congress declared war on Mexico, a bloody conflict that resulted in the U.S. gain of 525,000 square miles.

Book Synopsis José Antonio Navarro by : David R. McDonald
Download or read book José Antonio Navarro written by David R. McDonald and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first biography to appear in more than a generation on the most influential Tejano leader of the nineteenth century, José Antonio Navarro: In Search of the American Dream in Nineteenth-Century Texas fills one of the most glaring gaps in the current historical literature on Texas. The product of a lifetime of research by author David McDonald, this volume is sure to stand as the definitive treatment of Navarro’s life for decades to come. McDonald corrects many long-standing misconceptions concerning Navarro and fleshes out the details of his life in a way no author has done before. Born in San Antonio in 1795, José Antonio Navarro lived through a tumultuous era in Texas history that saw the transitions of Texas from a Spanish colony to a Mexican state, an independent republic, an American state, a Confederate state, and an American state once again. More than just bearing witness to these events, however, José Antonio Navarro helped shape them. He served in the legislatures of Coahuila y Texas, the Republic of Texas, and the state of Texas. He was a signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence and a steadfast defender of the rights of all Tejanos and people of Mexican descent in Texas, ensuring at both the 1836 Consultation that created the Texas Republic and the 1845 drafting of the state constitution after annexation that political rights would not be restricted solely to those with white skin and pure European ancestry. José Antonio Navarro has won a 2013 citation from the San Antonio Conservation Society's Publications Awards Committee. José Antonio Navarro: In Search of the American Dream in Nineteenth-Century Texas is more than just a political biography; it is a story of the American Dream. Navarro and his family worked hard to improve their lives on the Texas frontier, starting with his father, an immigrant from the Mediterranean island of Corsica. Navarro was not only an influential politician, but a successful businessman and rancher. This pattern of improvement continued into the next generation of the family when Navarro’s son Ángel entered Harvard College to study law. José Antonio Navarro was also an early friend of Stephen F. Austin, sharing a vision of Texas with the famed empresario in which both Tejanos and Anglos could thrive. Navarro believed that Texas was a place where peoples of all colors and backgrounds should be able to realize the American Dream.

Download or read book Texian Iliad written by Stephen L. Hardin and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hardly were the last shots fired at the Alamo before the Texas Revolution entered the realm of myth and controversy. French visitor Frederic Gaillardet called it a "Texian Iliad" in 1839, while American Theodore Sedgwick pronounced the war and its resulting legends "almost burlesque." In this highly readable history, Stephen L. Hardin discovers more than a little truth in both of those views. Drawing on many original Texan and Mexican sources and on-site inspections of almost every battlefield, he offers the first complete military history of the Revolution. From the war's opening in the "Come and Take It" incident at Gonzales to the capture of General Santa Anna at San Jacinto, Hardin clearly describes the strategy and tactics of each side. His research yields new knowledge of the actions of famous Texan and Mexican leaders, as well as fascinating descriptions of battle and camp life from the ordinary soldier's point of view. This award-winning book belongs on the bookshelf of everyone interested in Texas or military history.
Book Synopsis Three Texas Rangers: The Republic of Texas 1836-1845 by : Karl Thomson
Download or read book Three Texas Rangers: The Republic of Texas 1836-1845 written by Karl Thomson and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2021-10-31 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While this book is fiction, most of the action is based on reality and early life in Texas. While much of this book seems beyond our ability to believe today, life was more than most of our made up superheroes today. This book takes us from the early days of Texas through its fighter for independence and the Mexican-American War to the seemingly impossible start of a new nation that reached the Gulf of Mexico into what is now Wyoming. As a nation, Texas covered part of Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas and of course, Texas. During much of that time, a modern day school bus would have held all the lawmen in the nation of Texas. These early years are full of excitement, heartbreak, hopes, dreams, love, fighting and death.

Book Synopsis The Republic of Texas by : Stephen B. Oates
Download or read book The Republic of Texas written by Stephen B. Oates and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book appears in May, 1968, in the year of the Southwest's first world fair - the HemisFair in San Antonio. San Antonio, situated as it is at a confluence of cultures, in many ways represents Texas as completely as any city in the state. It was a seat of government when Spain controlled Texas; it remained a seat of government when Mexico took over. Both Texas and Mexican armies fought over it; each won, and each lost the city. At the time of independence it was Texas's largest city, almost totally Mexican in population; and in San Antonio, or Bejar, the Alamo was besieged until it became a symbol for heroic resistance.
