A Texan’s Promise When Clayton Proffitt, foreman of the Circle Z Ranch in Texas, discovers Vanessa Grant is the victim of her stepfather’s advances, Clayton knows he must protect her honor and move her far away from the ranch—and from the man she fears. As they make their way West, an unexpected, deep bond develops between Vanessa and Clayton—far more powerful than a mere friendship or his sense of duty to her. But Vanessa’s stepfather won’t let her go so easily. As Clayton and Vanessa place their faith in God and their trust in each other, will they find healing and hope for the future together? A Texan’s Honor Years ago, Will McMillan had fought next to his Captain, Clayton Proffitt. Now, he’s waging another war undercover, pretending to be a member of the notorious Walton Gang. But when a hostage situation goes awry and an innocent woman is in the middle of the fray, Will knows he must protect her no matter what happens. Even if they risk being killed by his gang or by the lawmen on their trail. Even if the woman he’s risking everything for will never love him back. Even if all he's left with is his faith.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a Navy SEAL's inspiring graduation speech, this #1 New York Times bestseller of powerful life lessons "should be read by every leader in America" (Wall Street Journal). If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed. On May 17, 2014, Admiral William H. McRaven addressed the graduating class of the University of Texas at Austin on their Commencement day. Taking inspiration from the university's slogan, "What starts here changes the world," he shared the ten principles he learned during Navy Seal training that helped him overcome challenges not only in his training and long Naval career, but also throughout his life; and he explained how anyone can use these basic lessons to change themselves-and the world-for the better. Admiral McRaven's original speech went viral with over 10 million views. Building on the core tenets laid out in his speech, McRaven now recounts tales from his own life and from those of people he encountered during his military service who dealt with hardship and made tough decisions with determination, compassion, honor, and courage. Told with great humility and optimism, this timeless book provides simple wisdom, practical advice, and words of encouragement that will inspire readers to achieve more, even in life's darkest moments.

Meet Trent Sanderson, a man as striking as the untamed landscapes he commands, dedicated to his sprawling ranch and the loyal cowboys who tend to it. Within the bounds of the ranch, respect is earned, and trust is sacred—except when it comes to the women in his life. Helen, once a vibrant spirit, now confined to a wheelchair, will do anything to protect Trent from unsuitable, money-hungry women, even if it means weaving a web of lies. Flossy seeks to ensnare Trent in her web of desire. But when her intentions turn to marriage, Helen's lies spiral out of control. Sassy, a sweet young woman with a secret past, resorts to deceit when Trent questions her about his personal life. Her prayers for forgiveness echo through the vast prairie. Patsy, the pretty teacher, and Angel, Trent's younger sister, also harbor secrets, further complicating the tangled web of deception that surrounds Trent. Trent's world is shaken in the wake of a devastating tornado, testing the limits of his strength and love. As he faces the aftermath, he questions his own feelings and seeks the elusive truth of genuine love. As secrets unravel and hearts collide, Trent's journey toward authenticity takes center stage as honor clashes with love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sam Houston is a living legend in 1861. The hero of the Battle of San Jacinto, he had defeated Santa Anna to win independence for Texas back in 1836. He had twice served as president of the Republic of Texas, helped Texas join the Union, and served as senator and governor of Texas. Before settling in Texas, he had been a hero of the Creek War and governor of Tennessee. He had been friends with Andrew Jackson and Davy Crockett, and had been adopted into the Cherokee tribe, whose rights he had often defended and who had named him the Raven. Yet now, approaching seventy years of hard living, he finds everything he has fought for being torn asunder. Texas is joining the Confederacy, and Houston, a Unionist who has been cast out as governor, quickly loses power, prestige, and friends. He could hide in retirement, but such is not the way of a warrior. The Raven prepares for his most important fight yet. He knows this battle will test his endurance and faith. He knows he will need his wife, Margaret, to save him from his own worst enemy-himself. And he knows this war, which will pit brother against brother, will also try to divide Houston's family. What he doesn't know yet is that he will find help from long-dead friends and enemies to help him sort out his life and restore his honor. Johnny D. Boggs, among the most honored Western writers of the twenty-first century, brings one of Texas' greatest heroes to life, warts and all, in a character study and love story of a man fighting for his country and legacy-but mostly for his family.

Book excerpt: HONOR...OR SURVIVAL? It was Martha Doak's last wish-and it may lead Slate Creed to his last showdown. Creed promised the half-blood squaw that he'd see her son Little Bee safe and sound to his uncle in the Choctaw Nation. Trouble is, the trip will take him through some of the meanest badland settlements the Nations have to offer-towns where Little Bee's kind isn't wanted-and the rebel Creed is. As murderous bushwhackers stalk their trail, the boy and Creed live by quick wits, cold steel, and an unbreakable pact...But this time, will the Texas rebel's pact break him? A JOURNEY BEGINS "You'll probably be wanting fresh water," said McGuire, "so you might as well go on into the center of town to the well ... Then take the left fork past Stidham's store, and you should find yourself a decent place soon after that. Go too much farther, and you'll be among the Indians and the coloreds. You won't want that, of course. Not with your daughters being with you." "Thank you, Sergeant," said Thayer abruptly...Come on children, let's be going." He offered the reins to Nimbus back to Creed and the reins to Payday to Drake. "Good luck to you, Reverend," said McGuire. "I wish you a safe journey." "Thank you, Sergeant," said Thayer. He snapped the lines over the mules, and the wagon lurched forward. As the second wagon passed him, McGuire repeated his good wishes to Tyler and Louise, and then he did the same when Creed and Little Bee rode by him. They, in turn, bid him a forced but polite farewell? "Including the sergeant?" asked Little Bee. "Sure, him, too." "Horses' asses," said the boy succinctly. Creed laughed and said, "You got that right." Based on actual records, this exciting epic series captures the postwar West as you've never seen it before-the explosive story of a town held hostage by Northern corruption...and the one man who dared to fight back. Hallettsville, Texas, and many of the characters and events depicted in this series are real.
Download or read book Texans and War written by Alexander Mendoza and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2012-02-29 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning with tribal wars among Native Americans before Europeans settled Texas and continuing through the Civil War, the soil of what would become the Lone Star State has frequently been stained by the blood of those contesting for control of its resources. In subsequent years and continuing to the present, its citizens have often taken up arms beyond its borders in pursuit of political values and national defense. Although historians have studied the role of the state and its people in war for well over a century, a wealth of topics remain that deserve greater attention: Tejanos in World War II, the common Texas soldier’s interaction with foreign enemies, the perception of Texas warriors throughout the world, the role of religion among Texans who fight or contemplate fighting, controversial paramilitary groups in Texas, the role and effects of Texans’ ethnicity, culture, and gender during wartime, to name a few. In Texans at War, fourteen scholars provide new studies, perspectives, and historiographies to extend the understanding of this important field. One of the largest collections of original scholarship on this topic to date, Texans and War will stimulate useful conversation and research among historians, students, and interested general readers. In addition, the breadth and originality of its contributions provide a solid overview of emerging perspectives on the military history and historiography of Texas and the region.
