Reviews

[Susie Sherman]

I liked this. It's a good story about another character from the Alamo battle...and what leads up to it. The author leaves it open to a sequel as well.

A wild eyed ride through early Texas history. The story of William "Big Foot" Wallace, the Red Ripper.

[David]

Excellent historical adventure and myth-making.
