Austin. Here, instead, is a history of Texas told by one of its lesser giants, William Turner Sadler (1797-1884), whose biography becomes the framework for an exciting view of Texas History. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSadler, one of the leading pioneers of nineteenth-century Texas, participated in most of the major events of the period. He migrated to Texas from Georgia in 1835 to become a farmer. He soon found himself in command of a ranger company that built Fort Houston, served as a private in the battle of San Jacinto, was active in quelling the Cordova Rebellion, and became a leader in the campaign against Chief Bowles and the Cherokees. Eventually he served as a representative in both the Republic Congress and the state legislature. During the Civil War, at the age of sixty-six, Sadler served in Terrell's Texas Cavalry.","brand":"State House Press at the Texas Center-Schrein","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47781087314071,"sku":"9781880510681","price":3653.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781880510681.webp?v=1778050488","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/taming-texas-9781880510681","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
