From the rear cover

Were the Texans really martyrs in a glorious cause, or undisciplined soldiers defying their own government? How did the Mier Expedition affect the border disputes between the Texas Republic and Mexico? What role did Texas President Sam Houston play? These are all questions that Sam Haynes addresses in this very readable book, which contains excerpts from the diaries and letters of actual participants.
