Download or read book Indian Wars and Pioneers of Texas written by John Henry Brown and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 1988 with total page 812 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book leads the reader through the past to the present and here leaves him amid active and progressive men who are advancing, along with him, toward the future. Including, as it does, lives of men now living, it constitutes a connecting link between what has gone before and what is to come after. It is therefore fitting that it should be dedicated to a prominent man of our day in preference to one of former times. The matter presented, in the nature of things, is largely biographical. There can be no foundation for history without biography. History is a generalization of particulars. It presents wide extended views. To use a paradox, history gives us but a part of history. That other part which it does not give us, the part which introduces us to the thoughts, aspirations and daily life of a people, is supplied by biography. The men whose deeds are recorded in this book were or are deeply identified with Texas, and the preservation in this volume in enduring form of some remembrance of them—their names, who and what they were—has been a pleasant task to one who feels a deep interest and pride in Texas—its past history, its heroes and future destiny.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Distributed by the University of Nebraska Press for Caxton Press During the decades from 1820 to 1870, the American frontier expanded two thousand miles across the trans-Mississippi West. In Texas the frontier line expanded only about two hundred miles. The supposedly irresistible European force met nearly immovable Native American resistance, sparking a brutal struggle for possession of Texas’s hills and prairies that continued for decades. During the 1860s, however, the bloodiest decade in the western Indian wars, there were no large-scale battles in Texas between the army and the Indians. Instead, the targets of the Comanches, the Kiowas, and the Apaches were generally the homesteaders out on the Texas frontier, that is, precisely those who should have been on the sidelines. Ironically, it was these noncombatants who bore the brunt of the warfare, suffering far greater losses than the soldiers supposedly there to protect them. It is this story that The Settlers’ War tells for the first time.

Book excerpt: Andrew Jackson "Jack" Sowell (1848-1921) came from a family of warriors. John Newton Sowell, his grandfather, who fought in the War of 1812, came to Texas in 1829 and was one of the founders of Gonzales, Texas. Jack's father, Asa J. L. Sowell, fought in the Mexican and Civil Wars, and served as a Texas Ranger. Andrew Jackson Sowell (1815-1883), Jack's uncle, fought in the Texas War of Independence, the Mexican War, and the Civil War and served as a Texas Rangers. As a young and inexperienced Texas Ranger, Jack Sowell fought many battles against the Kiowa and Comanche in northwest Texas during the Wichita campaign of 1870-1871. By 1871, he was already writing his first book, Rangers and Pioneers of Texas (1884). Rangers and Pioneers of Texas tells the stories of the settlers who experienced violent, and often lethal, clashes with American Indians. Sowell was not a pedestrian author: every story is based on his experience as a ranger or the oral accounts of people he interviewed.
