The Texas Revolution has long been cast as an epic episode in the
origins of the American West. As the story goes, larger-than-life
figures like Sam Houston, David Crockett, and William Barret Travis
fought to free Texas from repressive Mexican rule. In Unsettled
Land, historian Sam Haynes reveals the reality beneath this
powerful creation myth. He shows how the lives of ordinary
people-white Americans, Mexicans, Native Americans, and those of
African descent-were upended by extraordinary events over
twenty-five years. After the battle of San Jacinto, racial lines
snapped taut as a new nation, the Lone Star republic, sought to
expel Indians, marginalize Mexicans, and tighten its grip on the
enslaved. This is a revelatory and essential new narrative of a
major turning point in the history of North America.
