BORDER WARS OF TEXAS
Author: James T. DeShields
Price: $29.95
Shipping: $3.75
Originally published in 1912, the author used material from earlier historians, John Henry Brown, John W, Wilbarger and Henderson King Yoakum, but made extensive use of primary sources such as numerous turn-of-the-century interviews, and correspondence with early Texas Rangers and frontiersmen who were still living. Many of his accounts are not found elsewhere in Texas History publications and had he not recorded them they might have been lost forever. In Spite of his limited view of Texas history as the struggle of the dauntless Anglo pioneer and the savage Indian, DeShields' work remains a valuable and humanistic narrative of conflicts between warring pioneer and Indian factions which were bloody and savage.

SEA OF MUD
Author: Gregg J. Dimmick
Price: $26.95
Shipping: $3.75
The two weeks after the Battle of San Jacinto have been generally missing from the historical record, especially the story of the Mexican army's misfortunes in the aptly named " Sea of Mud" where more than 2500 Mexican soldiers and 1500 female camp followers foundered in the muddy fields of what is now Wharton County, Texas. This book is the result of the curiosity of a pediatrician and amateur archaeologist who set out to find evidence in Wharton County of the Mexican army of 1836. The artifacts found and the history research, much of it from published and published sources presented here in English for the first time, enabled the author to trace the movements of the Mexican army from April 21 to May 9, 1836. The actions of Mexican generals Vicente Filisola and José de Urrea and the bitter rivalry between them are presented in their own words, from their letters and diaries. Illustrated with maps and photos of artifacts. Pen and ink sketches are by Manuel Hinojosa.
