The Texan Star: The Story of a Great Fight for Liberty by Joseph A. Altsheler is a historical fiction novel set during the Texas Revolution in the mid-19th century. The story follows the journey of Fulton, a young man from Kentucky who travels to Texas to start a new life. Along the way, he meets a group of brave Texans who are fighting for their independence from Mexico. As Fulton becomes more involved with the Texan cause, he has faced many challenges and dangers. He witnessed firsthand the brutality of the Mexican army and the bravery of the Texan fighters. Fulton takes part in several key battles, with his new friends including the famous Battle of San Jacinto. Will he become successful to start a new life? The Texan Star is a thrilling tale of heroism and sacrifice, and it provides a vivid depiction of the struggle for independence in early Texas.
Calling Altsheler a "children's book writer" is as limiting as saying Mark Twain "wrote light comedy." Read this tale of the epic struggle for Texas independence from Mexico and you'll see why JA was one of the best selling American writers for three decades.
