Description

The founding of Austin sparked one of the Republic of Texas’s first great political battles, pitting against each other two Texas titans: Lamar, who in less than a year had risen to vice president from army private, and Sam Houston, the hero of San Jacinto and a man both loved and hated throughout the Republic. The shy, soft-spoken, self-righteous Lamar dreamed of a great imperial capital in the wilderness, but to achieve it faced the hardships of the frontier, the mighty Comanche nation, the Mexican army, and the formidable Houston’s political clout.

Author Biography:

Jeffrey Stuart Kerr is the author of two other books on Texas history, Austin, Texas: Then and Now and The Republic of Austin. He and his wife, Sharon, live in Austin, Texas, USA.
