Tall men with long rifles

by James T. DeShields

240pp, six illustrations, black titles on mustard cloth, corners sharp, clean tight and complete. Text paper is tanned around the margins, title page tearing near the binding. First of the Centennial series of Naylor books. Covers the period from the fall of the Alamo to the Battle of San Jacinto relying on eye-witness accounts. In presenting Creed Taylor's personal reminiscences of the Texas Revolution, the writer has sought to edit and arrange the material in such a manner as to retain the spontaneity and vitality of the narrator's own colorful style, and yet relieve the reader from the confusion of repetitive and irrelevant matter. The accounts have been further clarified by the inclusion of corroborative information drawn from many reliable sources...THE PUBLISHERS
