First edition. Map endpapers. Dust jacket is rubbed, chipped, and torn on flaps.Previous owner's name and date is on the half title page. Inside pages are clean and binding is tight.A historical novel of the early West. Houston, now second largest city south of the Mason and Dixon line, was founded August, 1836, a few months after the battle of San Jacinto when Texas won independence from the Republic of Mexico. The Republic of Texas was then a trackless, Indian-in-habited country, 100,000 square miles larger than it now is, extending as far north as Wyoming. In February, 1837, Dr. Joh Turner, late of Boston, came up crooked, root-filled and tree-covered Buffalo Bayou on an old side-wheeler, to the little tented village, now Houston, to make a home for himself and his four motherless children, tended by two negro slaves.
