Synopsis
The Somervell and Mier Expeditions of 1842, culminating in the famous "black bean episode" in which Texas prisoners drew white or black beans to determine who would be executed by their Mexican captors, still capture the public imagination in Texas. But were the Texans really martyrs in a glorious cause, or undisciplined soldiers defying their own government? How did the Mier Expedition affect the border disputes between the Texas Republic and Mexico? What role did Texas President Sam Houston play? These are the questions that Sam Haynes addresses in this very readable book, which includes many dramatic excerpts from the diaries and letters of expedition participants.

    This seller couldn't have been better! She answered my questions promptly, sent me photos I requested and when the book arrived, on time, not only was it in excellent condition, but she had packaged it better than any item I can ever remember receiving in my many years of purchasing on Ebay! She also worked with me wonderfully on the price of the book that I purchased and there is not enough good that I can say about this seller! Thank you and please feel totally positive about any purchase! :-)

    A brand new sealed CD box set was purchased and shipped on 3-13 and delivered by USPS Media Mail on 3-18. Item received was as described and pictured in the listing and was professionally packed for protection. Set was placed in a plastic sleeve to protect shrinkwrap, then sandwiched between two pieces of cardboard, then wrapped in large bubblewrap before being secured in a padded envelope. The care in packing, seller's acceptance of offer, and fast shipping made for an excellent purchase.
