The Texas Women — Corinne Johnston

Texas-the sprawling, fertile piece of earth for which men and women would dare any danger, endure unspeakable suffering, and fight to the death in the shadow of the Alamo....

They poured across the Sabine River, driven by visions of power, wealth, love, and a new life- hard-muscled men with dreams as big as the vast land itself, beautiful women with hearts made strong by hardship. Together they would prevail. Together they would discover love gentle or cruel, tragic or triumphant, but always aflame with the passion of life lived to the full.
