In 1812 this remote Spanish province was eyed by three Americans, Augustus Magee, Don Bernardo Guiterrez, Don Miguel Salazar, who led the first Anglo-Saxon surge into the Southwest and fought their way to San Antonio. Along with the fighting comes romance with the Virginian, Jonathan Kirk, who courts Cicily Marsten from Tennessee, and Teresa de Lerdo who pits Salazar against Kirk. Passions and counterplots abound as the battle roars. This book has more true story than fiction. A clean very presentable copy in a Brodart mylar jacket.
