This book is the seminal work on the arms used by the citizen and military heroes of the Republic of Texas. Michael Koury has obviously done a tremendously large amount of primary research on the subject. He could have only gotten many of his gems of factual information from original letters, documents, and obscure items found hidden in dusty archives not easily accessible to most people.
This book presents "the real deal" on how the Texas Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guards, and civilian militia were armed during the days of the Republic.
A MUST for anyone interested in Texas history.
