Conquest of Texas

Ethnic Cleansing in the Promised Land, 1820-1875

Beschreibung

The Conquest of Texas is the story of the struggle between Anglos and Indians for land. Anderson tells how Scotch-Irish settlers clashed with farming tribes and then challenged the Comanches and Kiowas for their hunting grounds. Next, the decade-long conflict with Mexico merged with war against Indians. For fifty years Texas remained in a virtual state of war. Well illustrated with over 40 b&w illustrations and 3 maps, this book pierces the very heart of Lone Star mythology.
