Book excerpt: The Texan Scouts by Joseph A. Altsheler is the story of the Battle at the Alamo. Altsheler's cow rancher hero Ned must survive and watch as his town crumbles at the hands of war. Excerpt: "The horseman rode slowly toward the west, stopping once or twice to examine the wide circle of the horizon with eyes that were trained to note every aspect of the wilderness. On his right, the plains melted away in gentle swell after swell, until they met the horizon. Their brown surface was broken only by the spiked and thorny cactus and stray bits of chaparral. On his left was the wide bed of a river that flowed through the sand, breaking here and there into several streams, and then reuniting, only to scatter its volume a hundred yards further into three or four channels. A bird of prey flew on strong wings over the water, dipped, and then rose again, but there was no other sign of life. Beyond, the country southward rolled away, gray and bare, sterile and desolate."

Download or read book Tejanos in the 1835 Texas Revolution written by L. Lloyd MacDonald and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2012-09-06 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Texas historian presents a vividly detailed account of the 1835–36 battle for independence, shining new light on the experiences of Tejano rebels. In the 1820s and ‘30s, thousands of settlers from the United States migrated to Mexican Texas, lured by Mexico’s promise of freedom. But when President Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna came to power, he discarded the constitution and established a new centralized government. In 1835 and ‘36, Mexican-born Tejanos and Anglo-born Texans fought side by side to defend their rights against this authoritarian power grab. After Santa Anna silenced decent across Mexico, Texas emerged as the lone province to gain independence. Offering a unique study of the role the Mexican-born revolutionaries played in Texas’s battle for independence, this account examines Mexico from the fifteenth century through the birth of the sovereign nation of Texas in 1836. Drawing heavily on first-person accounts, this detailed history sheds light on the stories and experiences of Tejanos and Texans who endured the fight for liberty. Enhanced by maps and illustrations handcrafted by the author, this volume contributes an important perspective to the ongoing scholarship and debate surrounding the Alamo generation of the 1830s.

Download or read book Texans in Revolt written by Alwyn Barr and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-07-05 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive history and analysis of the Siege of Béxar in early nineteenth-century Texas. While the battles of 1836—the Alamo, Goliad, and San Jacinto—are well-known moments in the Texas Revolution, the battle for Béxar in the fall of 1835 is often overlooked. Yet this lengthy siege, which culminated in a Texan victory in December 1835, set the stage for those famous events and for the later revolutionary careers of Sam Houston, James Bowie, and James W. Fannin. Drawing on extensive research and on-site study around San Antonio, Alwyn Barr completely maps the ebbs and flows of the Béxar campaign for the first time. He studies the composition of the two armies and finds that they were well matched in numbers and fighting experience—revising a common belief that the Texans defeated a force four times larger. He analyzes the tactics of various officers, revealing how ambition and revolutionary politics sometimes influenced the Texas army as much as military strategy. And he sheds new light on the roles of the Texan and Mexican commanders, Stephen F. Austin and Martín Perfecto de Cos. As this excellent military history makes clear, to the famous rallying cry “Remember the Alamo!” “Remember Goliad!” should be added: “And don't forget San Antonio!” “Will most likely remain for some time the standard work on this battle. Outstanding scholarship and research are reflected in the book, including on-site study of the locale. . . . This is an important military history, and as such, it should be in all Texana collections.” —Review of Texas Books “This is a significant contribution to the study of Texas history. Texans in Revolt will be the standard work on this campaign.” —Ralph A. Wooster, Associate Vice President and Regents Professor, Lamar University
