Robert Hancock Hunter
Austin: Cook Printing Co., 1936. Printed wrappers. Edited by Beulah Gayle Green. First edition. Toning to the perimeter of the wrappers, else, very good. Jenkins, BTB 100: “This is the most vivid of all recollections of the Texas Revolution. Carlos Castenada called it ‘the best account of the San Jacinto campaign left by a veteran, an indispensable source.’” J. Frank Dobie: “Hunter has left some of the most revealing and lifelike word pictures of the revolution to be found in all Texas literature.” Hunter tells of his arrival in 1822 and his participation in events of Texas Revolution, including the Grass Fight, leading to the Battle of San Jacinto.
