For the Liberty of Texas (Illustrated Edition)

This is a historical fiction novel about the struggle for Texas independence from Mexico. Although complete in itself, this is the first of a line of three books to be known as the Mexican War series. In the form of a boy's story, it describes the conditions in Texas when it was hemmed in between scheming Mexicans on one side and murderous Indians on the other, before it had become a territory of the United States.

Dan Radbury and his younger brother Ralph, encounter exciting adventures throughout the book. Dan even participates in the fall of the Alamo, but escapes!

This edition of the book contains the 10 original illustrations, rejuvenated.
