Ten Years in Texas is a riveting, page turning historical novel
based on the 10 years Texas struggled to rip a Republic from the
iron fist of the Mexican dictator, Santa Anna. You will follow the
seeds of independence and the formation of an area known as Texas.
Author Jack White places you alongside General Sam Houston as the
Lone Star of Texas is lowered for the last time and the stars and
stripes rose. Some characters are fictional to help enhance the
story of the struggle and hardship facing those who were brave
enough to forge a nation out of the wilderness. The real heroes are
accurate to the smallest details with one exception; the author
extends the life of Baron de Bastrop, because without him there
would be no Texas. With skillful use of words the author makes you
freeze in an ice storm or swelter under the blazing Texas sun. He
uses his vast knowledge of Texas geography allowing the reader to
visualize the terrain as the battles unfold. Ten Years in Texas is
a must for anyone interested in the cesarean birth of Texas and the
ten years of blood, sweat and tears that followed.
