When they arrived in Texas in 1829 the Burketts had little inkling that they would have to protect their land grant against not only marauding Commanches and cattle rustlers, but also from Santa Anna's invading Mexican Armies and eventually those of the United Sates. The four brothers in the family engage in a series of adventures that include defending their cattle and their scalps from Indians as young boys to serving in the defense of the new Republic of Texas from Mexican invasion to the Civil War battles of Chickamauga and Chattanooga. Their valor and sacrifices were typical of the time and were the grist which assured the eventual preeminence of both Texas and the United States.
