THE REPUBLIC OF TEXAS 1838-1844
An infant republic, whose ragtag, ill-equipped army, led by the flamboyant Sam Houston, has defeated the mighty legions of Mexico.  But now Houston must lead his country in its fight to establish itself as a nation -- to defeat the grim prospect of bankruptcy, the fierce tribes of native Indians, and to secure justice in a land where laws are enacted by any man strong enough to enforce them.

As seen through the eyes of adventurer Adam Rashleigh, Texas is a hostile, unforgiving land.  But among its people -- farmers, frontiersmen, swindlers, and soldiers -- Adam discovers the proud character of a new country, and a love for which he is willing to risk everything.  He joins with them as they forge a dream from a lawless frontier and fight against vast odds in an epic saga of a great people, their undying spirit, and a beautiful, untamed land.
