About This Book

Two young companions journey down the Mississippi toward the contested frontier, joining a stream of volunteers bound for Texas as conflict with Mexican forces intensifies. Suspicion and intrigue follow them aboard the steamboat, and subsequent chapters trace episodic frontier adventures: hunts, skirmishes with Comanches and Mexican troops, betrayals and plots, and personal tests of courage. The narrative culminates in a dramatic account of the Alamo siege and closes with an authorial biographical sketch of a famed frontier figure. Themes include camaraderie, survival in wilderness settings, and the turbulent politics of territorial expansion.
