HOWES L-69, \"b.\" Graff 2384. Dornbusch II, 1048. Nevins I, p.119. Excessively rare. \"One of the best Texas military memoirs, this is also a prime source on the period from the Texas Revolution through the Civil War. No Texas military hero spent more time in the thick of the action than Lane, and his memoirs are meaty with anecdotes and incidents relating to the revolution, the Indian campaigns, the Mexican War, and the Civil War. As Colton Storm has stated, the book contains exciting and unusual personal accounts, especially the \'Indian fights thrown in.\' Lane\'s narrative is salty and pure Texian. One of the most fascinating narratives ever produced in Texas\"--Basic Texas Books, 119.
