{"product_id":"2940151507011","title":"Six Decades in Texas (Abridged, Annotated): Memoir of Francis Richard Lubbock","description":"He was a camel-rancher, married to a Creole woman, the governor of Texas during the American Civil War, later an aid to President Jefferson Davis, with whom he was captured, and a central player in all that happened in early Texas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis name was Francis Richard Lubbock. Released from prison after his capture with Davis, he returned to Texas life and Texas politics, serving as State Treasurer. In this lively, opinionated, sometimes witty memoir, Lubbock mostly discusses his time as War Governor and the struggle to run a state during a rebellion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA largely unreconstructed rebel, Lubbock believed in the Confederate cause to his last days. But his position in Texas history makes him someone worth studying.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvery memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBe sure to LOOK INSIDE by clicking the cover above or download a sample.","brand":"Big Byte Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069243801840,"sku":"2940151507011","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940151507011_p0.jpg?v=1764014364","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940151507011","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
