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.

Do you dare to tread in the realm of evil? Do you dare to look insanity in the eye? Do you dare to open up your imagination and immerse yourself in a wonderland of terror? If so, then snatch up your garden trowel and follow me. The Black Garden is a place where darkness spools on daisies like raindrops and demons frolic freely, nestled in the bosom of sin. It's a place where old women linger after death, catching wayward children with their spindly fingers and pale rabbits dart into burrows infested with horrors beyond the realm of human comprehension. It's the birthplace of darkness - the scaly breast and withered arm that suckles the minions of hell. And it's starting to overflow ...

The is the personal story of a family beer distributing business over three generations and how the business got passed on first from father to son, then son to daughter. It is a story that is relevant to any small family business. Parts of the story are informative, some poignant, and there are many funny stories. Most books about business are boring and involve the latest faddish business theory. That is not this book, which is about what happens in the real world, with real world examples personally lived and real world Dos and Don'ts from personal experience.

Due to the very old age and scarcity of this book, many of the pages may be hard to read due to the blurring of the original text.

If you like David Sedaris you will like Sam McQuade. His stories are as funny and poignant, and his family is even more dysfuntional. Sam is the eldest child of seven. There are four left. "There is a Road in North Dakota" is his story, growing up Catholic in the 50s and 60s on the northern Great Plains, his travels and adventures in France, the auto accident deaths of two brothers, life as a college English professor, and his eventual return to Bismarck, ND, to enter the family beer business and endure years of an Oedipus struggle with his father. If a life can be described as a metaphor, Sam McQuade's life is a gravel road in North Dakota. You will enjoy the unmarked curves.

The Somervell and Mier Expeditions of 1842, culminating in the famous "black bean episode" in which Texas prisoners drew white or black beans to determine who would be executed by their Mexican captors, still capture the public imagination in Texas. But were the Texans really martyrs in a glorious cause, or undisciplined soldiers defying their own government? How did the Mier Expedition affect the border disputes between the Texas Republic and Mexico? What role did Texas President Sam Houston play? These are the questions that Sam Haynes addresses in this very readable book, which includes many dramatic excerpts from the diaries and letters of expedition participants.
