In "Texas Sunsrise", Elmer Kelton brings together two novels that
tell the story of the Texas Revolution. In "Massacre At Goliad",
tensions mount between Mexican authorities and American newcomers.
Revolution is in the air, something Thomas Buckalew welcomes but
his brother Joshua fears, since Joshua is in love with a Mexican
girl. The story touches on the immortal battle of the Alamo but
centres on the infamous Goliad massacre, and ultimately the
decisive battle of San Jacinto, which made Texas an independent
republic. "After The Bugles" begins where "Massacre At Goliad" ends
- on the battlefield at San Jacinto. Joshua Buckalew tries to put
the pieces back together but finds that starting over in the
aftermath of war can be as challenging as the war itself. The
racial differences that helped foment the conflict have not gone
away. And Texas finds that being an independent republic can be
more difficult than being a colonial extension of Mexico.
