Davis precisely describes the spirit of the times during this momentous period.

"Excellent book about the settlement of Texas by immigrant Americans, Germans and Mexicans who lived in Texas under Mexican rule. A real good read for those interested in knowing more about the birth of the Texas Republic and an insight into the culture of Texans. "
