The Texan Republic Trilogy - Joseph Altsheler

Liberty or Death-the battle for the Republic of Texas

American author Joseph Altsheler was well known for his exciting action stories set against notable periods in the history and wars of the United States of America. This book contains his complete and famous trilogy about the bloody birth of the Republic of Texas. In typical Altsheler fashion, the fictional protagonists struggle through their adventures against a backcloth of real events faithfully described and including the debacle of Goliad, the heroic stand behind the walls of the Alamo and the final victory at San Jacinto. A full cast of real people make appearances-from the major characters of Houston and Santa Anna, to figures of legend including Crockett, Bowie and Travis. Altsheler knew how to craft a rip-roaring adventure suitable for readers of all ages and this is an excellent opportunity to own and read this great series in one substantial and satisfying volume.
Leonaur already publishes Altsheler books about the French and Indian War, the frontier conflicts of the colonial period beyond the Ohio River, the American Civil War, the American Indian Wars and the First World War.
