A Select Glossary of the Texas Revolution

This glossary compiles concise, alphabetically arranged entries on the people, places, events, and terminology of the Texas Revolution, concentrating on the active period from October 1835 through April 1836. A preface provides a chronological overview of rising unrest, early engagements, political divisions among Texan leaders, key sieges and battles, the interim government, civilian flight, and the decisive final encounter and capture of Mexican leadership. Individual entries offer brief biographical sketches, battle and place descriptions, and cross-references, drawing mainly on established state reference sources and a short bibliography for further reading.
