A large number of volunteers came to Texas in the 1830s: some for the promise of free land; a few for the cause of constitutional freedoms; many came for the adventure and a good fight. Such a group came to Texas in 1835. As a unit, they were born in a New Orleans coffee arcade on October 13, 1835. Only 175 days later they had been destroyed as a military unit, and only a handful survived. During that 175 days they were the most effective fighting force to serve in Texas during the seven-month revolution. They are the only Anglo Texas unit to have fought at Bexar, the Alamo, San Patricio, Agua Dulce, Refugio, Coleto, and Goliad. A few survivors even served at San Jacinto. Their story is one of courage and fighting skill. They were ruthless in battle, yet companssionate in victory, and they are hardly ever mentioned in Texas history books. They were the New Orleans Greys.

Volunteers in the Texas Revolution: The New Orleans Greys
This is what history books should be about. Very well researched, includes several maps of the locations and area to get a good idea of what is going on. Goes into detail about how land claims were made in those days (including how measurements were made,) and even talks a bit about legal procedures and how the settlers had to contend with three different sets of laws in this case.
Highly recommend this book to anyone who likes history, or even those who just want to read a murder trial biography outside of the normal.
