Gone to Texas- Two Plays of Early Texas ISBN13: 978-1-4363-7474-3 A freed slave is forced from his home in Louisiana by smugglers involved in the Sabine trade. Andrew and Delephine come to Texas to get a land grant from Sam Houston. Robbers on the trail think that they are gun runners trading to the Texans. Delephine is killed and Andrew is left for dead. Some Cherokee on a hunting party find Andrew and save him. They take him in as a member of their tribe. Santa Anna makes raids on Texas for the Mexican army. Andrew finds himself fighting alongside Sam Houston for Texas independence. This book's premise is written out as two three-act plays about early Texas based on Joe's earlier book "The Texas Republic." The plays are called: "The Escape from Eden," and "The Road to San Jacinto." A book changes as it translates into a stage play, or script. It makes for an interesting and fun read for those that love a good Nonfiction story. Enjoy the journey!
