The author presents the epic tales of Texas history in a new light, offering revisionist history in the best sense-broadening and deepening the traditional story, without ignoring the heroes of the past. The scope is impressive beginning with the archaeological record of the Native Americans to the rise of the oil industry and ultimately the modernization of Texas. Swift moving accounts are included of the Mexican revolution against Spain, the arrival of the settlers from the United States, the lasting Spanish legacy (from cattle ranching, to place names and civil law), the Anglo-Texan revolution, the decade of the Republic of Texas and annexation by the United States. Offers a fresh understanding of why Texas continues to be seen as a state unlike any other, a place that distills the essence of what it means to be an American.

The author proposes to resurrect the memory of Carvajal and place him in his rightful position with other persons who molded the shape of the current Texas-Mexico society. Carvajal was an intellectual dreamer who sought social reform in Mexico and struggled against the forces of the conservative Centralists of the Mexican Republic. He led a pioneering effort for political reform in South Texas and Northern Mexico yet is remembered by only a few contemporary historians. Some of his fame comes from his leadership of a series of armed excursions into Northern Mexico from Texas in 1851 and 1852 that came to be known as the Merchant Wars. His career stretched from the Texas Revolution to the French Intervention. San Antonio, 2006 Trinity University Press 1st Ed., 283 Pgs., 6 x 9, HB.

Spain's colonial rule rested on a judicial system that resolved conflicts and meted out justice. To describe how this legal order was imposed throughout the New World Cutter draws on over six hundred civil and criminal cases to recreate the procedural and ethical workings of the law in two of Spain's remote colonies, New Mexico and Texas in the eighteenth Century. By examining colonial legal culture Cutter reveals the attitudes of settlers, their notions of right and wrong, and how they fixed a boundary between proper and improper actions. Cutter also challenges the traditional view that the legal system was corrupt and irrelevant to the mass of society, and that local judicial officials were uninformed and inept. His conclusions are that even in peripheral areas the lowest level officials- The Alcalde or town magistrate- had a greater impact on daily life and a keener understanding of the law than previously acknowledged by historians.
