=WITH CROCKETT AND BOWIE=; OR, FIGHTING FOR THE LONE STAR FLAG. A TALE
OF TEXAS. With 8 full-page illustrations by VICTOR PÉRARD.
The story is of the Texas revolution in 1835, when American Texans
under Sam Houston, Bowie, Crockett, and Travis, fought for relief
from the intolerable tyranny of the Mexican Santa Ana. The hero, Rex
Hardin, son of a Texas ranchman, and graduate of an American military
school, takes a prominent part in the heroic defense of the Alamo,
the terrible scenes at Golead, and the final triumph at San Jacinto.
The historical side of the story has been carefully studied and its
localities rendered familiar by a special trip to Texas undertaken by
the author for that purpose within a year.
