Book Overview
In Massacre at Goliad, tensions mount between Mexican authorities and American newcomers. Revolution is in the air, something Thomas Buckalew welcomes but his brother Joshua fears, since Joshua is in love with a Mexican girl. The story touches on the immortal battle of the Alamo but centers on the infamous Goliad massacre, and ultimately the decisive battle of San Jacinto, which made Texas an independent republic.
After the Bugles begins where Massacre at Goliad ends--on the battlefield at San Jacinto. Joshua Buckalew tries to put the pieces back together but finds that starting over in the aftermath of war can be as challenging as the war itself. The racial differences that helped foment the conflict have not gone away. And Texas finds that being an independent republic can be more difficult than being a colonial extension of Mexico.Format:Paperback

Two Novels of the Texas Republic
Published by Charles , 5 years ago
This book brings together two novels written in 1965 and 1967 which feature two brothers, Thomas and Joshua Buckalew, who come from Tennessee when Texas is still ruled by Mexico and wanting American settlers to occupy the land. The novel Massacre at Goliad features the real incident which happened about the time of the siege of the Alamo. The other, After the Bugles, continues the story on the battle field at San Jacinto where the Mexican army was defeated. For a fuller description of these two novels see my reviews of them.
