Spanning the Anglo settlement of Texas in the 1830s, the Texas Revolution, the Republic of Texas, the US-Mexican War, Indian wars, the US Civil War, French intervention into Mexico, and the subjugation of borderlands Indians by the US and Mexican armies, this is a magisterial work that forever alters, complicates, and enriches borderlands history.
