WILLIAM BARRET TRAVIS: HIS SWORD AND HIS PEN.
Martha Anne. Turner
Waco: Texian Press, 1972. xv,318pp. Index. Numerous illustrations. Chapter notes. Red cloth with title in gilt on the spine. First edition. A near fine copy. The dust jacket is frayed at the head and toe of the spine (reinforced with acid free archival tape) with a faint circular mark on the back panel, overall, very good-. While there have been hundreds, if not thousands, of books about the Alamo, there have only been a handful devoted exclusively to William B. Travis. The author brings out Travis’ bold style and abilities which allowed him to emerge as one of the leading activists of the Texas Revolution. This is a full length, vivid portrait of a true Texas hero.
