Their personal approach to reliving the Alamo, Goliad and San Jacinto through the eyes of both Texians and Tejanos vividly illustrates the drama facing <br />frontier pioneers caught in the independence movement that created the Lone Star State. Texas Tales is a historically accurate and refreshing approach to educating and entertaining readers of all ages on the <br />Texas Revolution.<br /></span><span style="font-family:'Lucida Sans';">                          </span></p><p></p> <p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Lucida Sans';"><span>                   </span> </span><span style="font-family:'Lucida Sans';font-size:10pt;">-Stephen L.
