Description
The Texan Star is the first of three in Altsheler's Texan Series. The trilogy is based on the Texan struggle for liberty against the power of Mexico. This first book begins in Mexico with the treacherous imprisonment of Stephen Austin, the Texan leader, and the rise of Santa Anna and his attempt, through bad faith, to disarm the Texans and leave them powerless before the Indians. It culminates in the rebellion of the Texans, and their capture, in the face of great odds, of San Antonio, the seat of the Mexican power in the north.
