From dust jacket: This dramatic book, taken directly from the notes of Dr. Nicholas Descomps Labadie, Army surgeon and dedicated adoptive son of Texas, is a unique first-hand account of the Texas Revolution which freed American settlers from Mexican tyranny, a revolution which came to a triumphant climax with the historic Battle of San Jacinto, April 21, 1836. And it is a story of the high-spirited, fearless, fiercely independent men who took part in the revolt; of violent hand-to-hand fighting; of communities set afire, and women and children fleeing the ferocity of battle, many to die along the roadside; of that controversial figure, General Samuel Houston, lusty hero who was not always a hero to his impetuous men; and of Santa Anna, Mexican destroyer of the Alamo, and his capture by Houston’s army...
