A well researched book about the brief period of time when Texas was an independent Republic. The author took a different approach, skipping both the Battle of the Alamo and the follow up Texans' revenge at San Jacinto. In his view, both stories have been told many, many times. What he did was assemble original sources from 12 people who lived through those times, and left behind letters, journals, diaries, and various paperwork. Includes stories of Mary Maverick, Thomas Bell, others.

About River House Books
I found hundreds of nice dust jackets with no books to cover. Need one for your library? Have a look at that category!
Have some dust jackets to sell? Drop me a line!
I ship domestically in the US using the Post Office and internationally using consolidation services. Books are always wrapped then packed in cardboard boxes with padding to protect the contents. International shipments are double boxed with shipping paperwork attached to the outside of the box using a special envelope. And a complete duplicate of all the paperwork packed inside the outer box in case the attached set wanders off.
Previous international shipments to Austria, Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Germany, Hong Kong, Spain, Sweden, UK --> Help me fill in my international bingo card!
