About this title

Synopsis

Venable has composed a sweeping epic historical romance of Texas featuring hard-bitten settlers from killers to priest, Kentucky and Tennessee mountaineers, down-east Yankees and many resolute figures of the new Empire including such persons as Sam Houston, Stephen Austin, David Crockett and James Bowie. Three officers of the King's Colonial Army sat drinking in the low-ceilinged taproom of the old Williamsburg Tavern. They sprawled in their chairs, heavy and sodden. The tongue of the bulbous-nosed captain had become too thick to follow the sprightly wit of his fellows, but his hand could still follow theirs to the glasses.
