"The Texan Republic Trilogy" Topic

"American author Joseph Altsheler was well known for his exciting action stories set against notable periods in the history and wars of the United States of America. This book contains his complete and famous trilogy about the bloody birth of the Republic of Texas. In typical Altsheler fashion, the fictional protagonists struggle through their adventures against a backcloth of real events faithfully described and including the debacle of Goliad, the heroic stand behind the walls of the Alamo and the final victory at San Jacinto. A full cast of real people make appearances—from the major characters of Houston and Santa Anna, to figures of legend including Crockett, Bowie and Travis. Altsheler knew how to craft a rip-roaring adventure suitable for readers of all ages and this is an excellent opportunity to own and read this great series in one substantial and satisfying volume.
Leonaur already publishes Altsheler books about the French and Indian War, the frontier conflicts of the colonial period beyond the Ohio River, the American Civil War, the American Indian Wars and the First World War.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands."

I thought this was going to be about the Republic of Texas near future/scifi trilogy by Daniel da Cruz! Then I saw what board you posted to…

Keep in mind these are kids books written back in the 30s and 40s. When I was a kid I loved his Civil War and early Kentucky series. Sadly, I lived in a small town and never got a chance to read the whole series that covered the Civil War.

I downloaded the Texas trilogy, and the F&I series by Altsheler, for next to nothing from Amazon for KINDLE. I read every book of his I could get my hands on in 7th and 8th grades. He's sort of the American equivalent to GA Henty.

Yup. Some are free, and his whole works -- 70+ titles -- are $2.99 USD or such.

When my grandson is a few years older I will get him into these. Great adventure books, and a great way to learn a lot of American history.
