Thoroughly enjoyable picture of life in early Texas. Authentic, unadulterated, straightforward and honest picture of one of Texas' most memorable early settlers of the West. Little to no editorializing or politicizing of the sometimes brutal facts of everyday life of the period. This is an honest-to-goodness classic of Texas and its environs history.
