Publisher's Synopsis
This is the good stuff.
Back in 1904, Eugene Barker and Herbert Bolton gathered up ninety-one firsthand accounts spanning over three centuries. These accounts were written by people whose feet were on Texas soil at the time of pivotal historical events. They are accounts written by participants in our history, not just observers. People like Sam Houston, James Fannin, Ben Milam, Stephen F. Austin, Reuben Potter, and William Wharton. And accounts written by people you probably never heard of, but who left us some fascinating stories. It's real Texas history without any academic filters. No egghead with an agenda had any part in assembling this uncommon core of historical Texas source material. It is raw history.
