Om denne e-boken
Two brothers ride into Mexican-ruled Texas to stake their claim in the seven-time Spur Award–winning author’s historical Western trilogy debut.
Texas, 1816. Military hero Mordecai Lewis moves his family into the western Tennessee canebrakes. From there, he and his sons, Michael and Andrew, lead a foray into Spanish-held Texas to hunt wild horses and return the mustang herd to sell in Tennessee.
Crossing the Sabine River, Mordecai’s party encounters a Spanish patrol determined to repel all American invaders. After a bloody skirmish leaves their father dead, Michael and Andrew find their way back to their Tennessee farm.
Five years later, the Spanish government agrees to permit 300 American families to settle in Texas. The Lewis brothers once again cross the Sabine to find Stephen F. Austin, a Missouri entrepreneur in charge of the new American colony. But the Lewises are considered interlopers and horse thieves. They are dogged by a patrol led by the same ruthless Spanish officer who killed their father five years before.
Sons of Texas is the first volume in a trilogy that follows the lives and adventures of the Lewis family through the era of the Alamo and Texas Independence.
