McLemore shows that these historians wrote general works in the spirit of their times and had agendas that had little to do with simply explaining a society to itself in cultural terms."

"A little more than a century ago, Texas voluntarily surrendered her status as an independent republic and enthusiastically entered the union of the United States. This transition from republic to statehood was a great event in the history of Texas. The ceremonies accompanying the installation of the state officers were highly dramatic. Less dramatic but of greater importance was the colorful history of the state during the next two years. The purpose of this study is to give an over-all presentation of the history of Texas during 1846-1847. The ambitious plan of this undertaking has been difficult to accomplish. To treat fully all phases of the activities of the people, even for this two-year period, would require a work of great length; therefore, this study is, of necessity, largely a survey. Discussions of the various topics have afforded numerous, opportunities to introduce pertinent details; nevertheless, condensation has been a requisite at all times. The sources for this study cover a wide range of material. Primary sources include manuscripts; United States documents, laws, treaties, etc.; Texas legislative journals, laws, and constitutions; and numerous books, pamphlets, articles, newspapers, and periodicals. The amount of secondary source material is virtually unlimited; it was necessary, therefore, to choose judiciously among the books, pamphlets, articles, periodicals, and manuscripts which are available. The contemporary Texas newspapers, depicting the history of the period in the making, were especially a rich source of information"--Leaves iii-iv

“[A] firsthand account by one who measured up to the demands of danger and hardships and lived to write about it . . . Invaluable . . . Well documented.” —Library Journal As a teenager in the 1950s, John Holmes Jenkins set to work on collecting and editing his great-great-grandfather’s writings about his experiences on the Texas frontier. John Holland Jenkins joined General Sam Houston’s army at age thirteen after losing his stepfather at the Alamo. In addition to fighting the Mexicans, he faced peril from Indian warriors as well as the everyday difficulties of pioneer life. His reports on the events of the time were included in newspapers with very small readerships—and, his descendant would discover, were sometimes used word-for-word in respected history textbooks without any credit given to the source. This volume includes these memoirs of the Texas Republic and early statehood, along with illustrations, notes, biographical sketches, a bibliography, and an index. “Fascinating . . . A commendable job.” —The New York Times “[These reminiscences] light up for whoever will read the earliest days of early English-speaking Texas.” —J. Frank Dobie, from the foreword
