Lust for Glory: An Epic Story of Early Texas and the Sacrifice That
Defined a Nation is a concise, reader friendly depiction of the
"Heroic Age" of Texas history. Employing short, episodic chapters,
it explores the twenty-five years between 1821 and 1846. Certainly
one of the most eventful eras, it included Mexican independence,
Anglo-American settlement, the "Come-and-Take-It fight, battle of
the Alamo, Goliad Massacre, victory at San Jacinto, and the decade
of the Texas Republic that culminated in statehood. Extraordinary
figures like Stephen F. Austin, William Barret Travis, Sam Houston,
and his long-suffering wife, Margaret, come alive on the page.
Although Dr. Hardin's narrative reads like a contemporary page
turner, all is carefully documented. Skillfully conceived and
masterfully written, Lust for Glory flows with a style as
passionate and exuberant as the place and the people it describes.
