This is the first biography of General Edward Burleson, hero of the Texas Revolution, renowned Indian fighter, and popular statesman of the Republic of Texas, as well as a principal military and political adversary of Sam Houston. Burleson was best known for his service as commanding general at the siege and storming of Bexar in 1835, as second in command to Houston at San Jacinto, as fierce protector of the Texas frontier during its early expansion, and finally as vice president of the Republic during its trying years as a young nation. So important were his contributions that contemporaries said of Burleson that his life story was synonymous with the history of Texas during the crucial period from 1830 to 1850.

"At the very heart of Texas mythology are the Texas Rangers. Until now most histories have justified their actions and vilified their opponents. But Anderson tells how the Texas government encouraged the rangers to annihilate Indian villages, including women and children, spreading terror so that the survivors and neighboring Native groups would want to leave. The policy succeeded: by the 1870s, Indians had been driven from central and western Texas. Anderson offers a new paradigm for understanding the violence dominating Texas history. By confronting head-on the romanticized version of Texas history that made heroes of Houston, Lamar, and Baylor, this account helps us understand that the history of the Lone Star state is darker and more complex than the mythmakers allowed."--Book jacket.
