Texas, the Fight for the Gulf of Mexico, and the Shaping of the American West
Omschrijving
Tells the story of a little fleet of wooden warships, bought on credit by an impoverished band of revolutionaries and sent to sea on a single mission: to win Texas's independence from Mexico. This work recounts the story of how the Texas navy helped the Republic of Texas break away from Mexico and change the course of history in the American West.
