Texan Teenage Soldier

This is a factually accurate story of a teenager swept up in the Texas war for Independence. The author blends fictional and historical characters in an exciting tale of one boy's participation in the rebellion. Similar in style to some of Gary Paulsen ' s Western fiction, I found it entertaining.
