Summary: Pulls no punches
Comment: Will give you an idea of what living in Texas was like when hostilities between natives and settlers were common. As I read this book I kept imagining a Texas with no cars, no hospitals, no air conditioning and the very real threat of getting scalped on any given day. The book made me appreciate more what early Texans must have seen in their state and understand better why they came and why they stayed.

Summary: Anyone who wants to understand US history needs this book
Comment: When whites arrived on this continent they found it populated by countless tribes of residents. During the centuries that followed those tribes mostly vanished. The white conquest of North America is a story of migration and extermination. It is the microcosm of human history everywhere. The Wilbarger book is a series of accounts of the turmoil on the front lines of human encounter. The Wilbarger book is a study of understanding of the minds of men involved in conquest and an illustration of the desparate responses of the (savage)peoples being overrun and exterminated.
Rating: 5
Summary: Good book about early Texas
Comment: I'm a Texas History teacher, and I use the book quite a bit in class. It is broken up into short, true stories of encounters with Indians in the days of early anglo settlement. Some of the accounts are funny, some harrowingly tense. Others so heartbreaking that I've never been able to shake the violent imagery. As other reviewers have stated, it reflects the opinions of the time, so if you're into PC BS you won't like it. Books like this shouldn't be forgotten.
