Description
Only Texas of all the states can boast of a heritage that includes the army and navy of an independent nation. Throughout the ten turbulent years of Texas Independence, its military was engaged in constant warfare against enemies within and without. Its regulars were backed up by a militia described “as the most formidable, for their numbers, in the world.” Contrary to the image projected by Hollywood and most historians even in Texas, they were smartly uniformed with the latest in weaponry. The author a writer-artist-historian has depicted and described these in twenty-six full color illustrations, supplemented by fourteen photographs.
