Scarce material. Same date at title and copyright pages. Gray matte wraps, moderate corner, edge wear. Frontispiece plate of the Alamo. Pages very good, clean, many intriguing photo plates and battle plans of historical Texas. Signed on cover by W. Dwight Pierce, a doctor and author of many books. Two heroic poems at end w/names of honored dead, including David Crockett, Private. Each era has its own version of right and justice. The history of Texas has been recorded in the blood of its martyrs. The Lexington of the American revolution had its counterpart in the Alamo; San Jacinto was the Yorktown of the Lone Star. Naturally, the greater American revolt was greater by the virtue of momentous interests involved; but the struggles, defeats and success of the Texas wars for independence are thrilling in interest and equally as illustrative of the courage, fortitude and self-denial of the American pioneer as those which characterized the contest between the American colonies and England. In that contest an Anglo-Saxon foe pursued a civilized warfare. In the Texas revolution the enemy was a Latin. Too often was his side of it waged upon the principle that "all is fair in love and war," massacre, rapine and arson weaving their red thread throughout the course of the struggle. Press of James T. Roney & Co., Chicago. 131 pages. Insured post. [Cover: The Alamo] Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. …
