Stephen L. Hardin
University of Texas Press
1994

The first complete military history of the Texas Revolution. Drawing on many original Texan and Mexican sources from the war's opening in the "Come and Take It" incident at Gonzales to the capture of General Santa Anna at San Jacinto, the author clearly describes the strategy and tactics of each side. The research yields new knowledge of the actions of famous Texan and Mexican leaders, as well as fascinating descriptions of battle and camp life from the ordinary soldier's point of view.
Texan Iliad provides a balanced view of the Revolution that fairly assesses the conduct of both Texans and Mexicans. The book belongs on the bookshelf of everyone interested in Texas or military history, as well as of general readers who want the facts behind the legends.
