For the Liberty of Texas

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!
