Book excerpt: REMEMBER THE ALAMO? Beautiful Elizabeth Vargas may dress like a man, but to Clint Adams she's all woman. Her charms aren't the only reason he agrees to meet her father, Don Carlos, though. How can he pass up an opportunity to speak to a man who might just be the last survivor of the Battle of the Alamo? Don Carlos wants Clint to suss out a man in nearby Goliad who claims to be Captain William Travis. And he's not just living in the town—he's running it, or at least his foreman is. But Travis took a bullet to the forehead at the Alamo, and Santa Anna himself identified the body. Are the good folks of Goliad seeing ghosts?

Download or read book Goliad s Revenge written by Richard Jensen and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2020-04-28 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Goliad's Revenge By: Richard Jensen Historically accurate, this novel treads its way back to the mid-19th century. Here we find our country embroiled in the tumultuous task of nation building. Texas had just been accepted as the 28th State and to protect it from a displeased Mexican government, General Zachary Taylor had some 3500 American troops guarding the southern border and assaulting important communities south of the Rio Grande. This assignment embodied intervals of both war and peace with an almost always unpredictable outcome. Not surprisingly, these transitional imponderables seemed to intensify nearly every emotion known to man. Our relatively young protagonist, JK, covered the entire gambit of these encounters with uncertain moments of loneliness and despair intermingled with eminent danger and intense fear. While frequently outnumbered, but employing the military genius of Zachary Taylor, JK survived a multitude of battles. Even more surprising, here in the heart of an adversarial country, he found himself deeply in love with a girl that he dreamed of taking home as his wife. Sadly, the ecstasy of this stormy romance was shattered by a cruel deception, and the most hurtful betrayal of a trust that could ever be imagined.

Download or read book No Mexicans Women or Dogs Allowed written by Cynthia E. Orozco and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A refreshing and pathbreaking [study] of the roots of Mexican American social movement organizing in Texas with new insights on the struggles of women” (Devon Peña, Professor of American Ethnic Studies, University of Washington). Historian Cynthia E. Orozco presents a comprehensive study of the League of United Lantin-American Citizens, with an in-depth analysis of its origins. Founded by Mexican American men in 1929, LULAC is often judged harshly according to Chicano nationalist standards of the late 1960s and 1970s. Drawing on extensive archival research, No Mexicans, Women, or Dogs Allowed presents LULAC in light of its early twentieth-century context. Orozco argues that perceptions of LULAC as an assimilationist, anti-Mexican, anti-working class organization belie the group's early activism. Supplemented by oral history, this sweeping study probes LULAC's predecessors, such as the Order Sons of America, blending historiography and cultural studies. Against a backdrop of the Mexican Revolution, World War I, gender discrimination, and racial segregation, No Mexicans, Women, or Dogs Allowed recasts LULAC at the forefront of civil rights movements in America.
