Query: A true gem!

I stumbled across this book in a used bookstore, and WOW what a gem! I've always loved Texas history, but I've never seen it portrayed as clearly and effectively as it is in this book. When I finished I was so inspired and moved by the courage of Texas' great revolutionary men that I planned roadtrips to re-visit all the TX landmarks (e.g. the Alamo); I appreciate them on a whole new level now!Also, one particularly fantastic thing about the book's format: it has little anecdotes and random facts that stick with you - a plus for someone who loves history but tends to forget details.Truly, I cannot say enough good things about this book - I loved it so much I'm ordering extras to hand out to friends and family!
