Gustave Aimard 
Freebooters 
A Story of the Texan War

As the world watched the mounting tensions that eventually led to the American Civil War, French novelist Gustave Aimard set his sights on an earlier conflict — the Texas Revolution of 1835-1836. In this, the second volume of Aimard’s series set during that tumultuous period, the grumblings of discontent and early guerrilla skirmishes blossom into an organized and deadly rebellion.
