The most interesting family history we own...

...well, maybe next to the one I wrote myself! This is one well-written book. The book is more than a collection of letters from a important and fascinating family in early Texas history, though the letter do help bring the early 19th century to life. For the narrative and historical sections, she used a few of the same sources I used, so how did she make it more interesting than I did? You don't have to be a Texas history buff or a distant relative to enjoy it. It's worth reading even if you just like people.

Amazingly complete compilation of letters between family.

It covers the early 1800 settlement of Southern Louisiana and Southeast Texas by the O'Bryan, Berwick and allied families. One of the members - Capt James W. O'Bryan was the first mayor of Lake Charles, LA.
