Summary Reveals a detailed portrait of a fascinating Texan, William Duncan-- businessman, county sheriff, cattleman, and Confederate officer-- capturing his wartime emotions and his postwar struggles to reinvent the lifestyle he knew before the war. Also explores the everyday life of the Anglo-Texans who settled the Mexican land grants in the early nineteenth century and subsequently became citizens of the proudly independent Texas Republic
