Newly rich in oil money, and all the trouble it could buy, Texas in the years following World War I underwent momentous changes - and those changes propelled the transformation of the state's storied Rangers. Charles Harris III and Louis Sadler explore this important but relatively neglected period in the Texas Rangers' history in this book.
A Mexican Family Empire is a careful examination of the largest latifundio ever to have existed, not only in Mexico but also in all of Latin America-the latifundio of the Sanchez Navarros.
The Mexican Revolution could not have succeeded without the use of American territory as a secret base of operations, a source of munitions, money, and volunteers, a refuge for personnel, an arena for propaganda, and a market for revolutionary loot. This book examines the mechanics of rebellion in El Paso, an American city on the Mexican border.
Sylvanus G. Morley was the most influential Mayan archaeologist of his generation and perhaps the greatest American spy of WWI. Harris and Sadler document for the first time Morley's dual career as a scholar and a spy. Working for the Office of Naval Intelligence, he proved an invaluable source of information about German and anti-American activity in Mexico and Central America.
Based on newly available archival documents, this is a revisionist interpretation focusing on both south Texas and Mexico. Charles H. Harris III and Louis R. Sadler argue convincingly that the insurrection in Texas was made possible by support from Mexico when it suited the regime of President Venustiano Carranza.
