Excerpt from Texas, Vol. 1: An Epitome of Texas History From the Filibustering and Revolutionary Eras to the Independence of the Republic; From the Most Approved Sources
The hastily conceived ideas which brought out this work, perhaps, would need no apologies for errors in the results, if the circumstances of the production were understood by the reader. This is a recital, in the main, of the chivalrous deeds of those who gave to Texas, Independence and her vast domain, during the revolutionary period of the country, being an epitome of those thrilling times and scenes of carnage and woe. Many data of civil history are omitted to give litheness to the book, making it truly a "Souvenir" volume, which was the first aim of the author.
