Early Times in Texas; or, The Adventures of Jack Dobell

In 1835, Texas offered young men like John C Duval a chance for action and glory. This book, based on the diary kept by Duval, contains chapters that lead up to the Goliad Massacre on Palm Sunday 1836. After a hair-raising escape from Goliad, John wandered across the country-side, dodging the Mexicans and living by his wits.
