Informazioni su questo ebook
Spur Award–Winning Author: The thrilling conclusion of "a series that brings to mind L'Amour's multi-generational Sackett Family saga" ( Booklist).
In the mid 1830s, a steady flow of American pioneers into Mexican Texas has sown the seeds of revolution. In the midst of the turmoil are the Lewis brothers—Andrew, Michael, and James—scions of Mordecai Lewis, who crossed the Sabine River into Texas a decade past.
Now the news along the frontier is of a young general, a self-styled "Napoleon of the West" named Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, who wants to stamp out any gringo talk of independence from Mexico and oust the American interlopers from Texas. Standing in opposition to Santa Anna is the former governor of Tennessee and veteran of Andrew Jackson's Indian battles, Sam Houston, who is gathering a volunteer army to meet the Mexican forces.
Against the heroic, bloody backdrop of the Texas War of Independence—the battles of Gonzalez, San Antonio de Bexar, Goliad, the Alamo, and San Jacinto—the Lewis men and their families will join such rebels as Jim Bowie, James Fannin, Ben Milam, Juan Seguin, James Butler Bonham, William Barret Travis, and David Crockett, in wresting Texas from Mexican rule.
"Kelton has always been a masterful western storyteller of tales rich with historical detail, vivid characters and sharply defined plots. Here he concludes the Sons of Texas trilogy with the strongest entry [in] this superb saga of the Lone Star State." — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
