The history of Texas is usually told in terms of its "giants" such
as Sam Houston and Stephen F. Austin. Here, instead, is a history
of Texas told by one of its lesser giants, William Turner Sadler
(1797-1884), whose biography becomes the framework for an exciting
view of Texas History. Sadler, one of the leading pioneers of
nineteenth-century Texas, participated in most of the major events
of the period. He migrated to Texas from Georgia in 1835 to become
a farmer. He soon found himself in command of a ranger company that
built Fort Houston, served as a private in the battle of San
Jacinto, was active in quelling the Cordova Rebellion, and became a
leader in the campaign against Chief Bowles and the Cherokees.
Eventually her served as a representative in both the Republic
Congress and the state legislature. During the Civil War, at the
age of sixty-six, Sadler served in Terrell's Texas Cavalry. Stephen
L. Moore, a sixth generation Texan, graduated from Stephen F.
Austin State University in Nacogdoches, where he studied journalism
and advertising. He has been an accounting manager for a
Houston-based firm which serves the retail advertising industry.
Moore's interest in military history and efforts in writing
continue to combine as a part-time hobby. He previously combined
with William J. Shinneman and Robert W. Gruebel to write The
Buzzard Brigade: Torpedo Squadron Ten at War (Missoula, Montana:
Pictorial Histories Publishing Company). Steve, his wife Cindy, and
their two daughters currently make their home in the Dallas area.
