This is a very rare find! Carlos E. Castaneda's important work, The Mexican Side of the Texas Revolution [1836], P. L. Turner Company 1928, in good condition with only light shelf wear on the spine and cover. No dust jacket. Don't let this one slip away!
A landmark of Texas historiography, compiling important accounts by five
of the primary Mexican architects of the revolution. Texas historian
Stephen L. Hardin comments that: "Every serious student of the Texas
Revolution has found Professor Castañeda's masterful compilation
indispensable. It incorporates the accounts of General Antonio López de
Santa Anna (Commander of the Mexican Army of Operations in Texas), D.
Ramón Martínez Caro (Santa Anna's private secretary), General Vicente
Filisola (Santa Anna's second-in-command), General José Urrea (Santa
Anna's undefeated divisional commander), and General José María Tornel
(Mexican Secretary of War). Before the publication of Castañeda's
magisterial work, bias and chauvinism marred many histories of the war
published north of the Rio Grande. Most Texans were unaware that there
was a Mexican side to the Texas Revolution. This volume provided (and
continues to provide) a much needed corrective."
