Foreward by Dr. Bruce Winders

“The novel Alamo Letters is a tale of a young Scottish immigrant whose journey takes him all the way to Texas. Arriving in 1836 at the height of the Texas Revolution, Jesse McAlester casts his lot with the Texans, becoming a Texas Ranger who helps tame the frontier. A veteran of the fight for Texas’ independence, McAlester returns to the field during the Mexican-American War. The pages are filled with characters, including his horses and dogs that accompany him on his adventures. Alamo Letters, the authors’ first volume of historical fiction, is fast-paced and puts the reader in the center of the action.” – Dr .Bruce Winders, Alamo Curator, Texas historian and author

“Wonderful and compelling story tracing the life of a very early Texas émigré from the Battle of the Alamo, Battle of San Jacinto, Mexican-American War, through the Civil War in Texas. A novel mixing in plenty of history and bringing alive the early years of Texas Independence and statehood.” – Chuck Wright
