Great reading in the highest tradition of historical romance in the matchless experience to be found in this novel of love and war, written with fire, enthusiasm, and loving detail. In 1835 thousands of American settlers in Texas, betrayed by Mexico's General Santa Anna and threatened with virtual enslavement or wholesale slaughter, called for help. With the stream of volunteers from the US came Perry Allan, youthful lawyer who, as 2nd son of an impoverished family, had left Maryland to seek his fortune westward. In New Orleans he had found the woman he loved, when the desperate summons from Texas came. Camilla, a beautiful young widow, herself in the tyrannical hold of a wealthy benefactor, could not see that honoring the love of freedom was so intertwined with that of personal love, refusing to defend the first made the second unworthy. So Perry left for Texas alone, to take up land there and to fight for it beside his beleaguered fellow Americans. Thus the opening of this richly eventful novel leads into a drama of great conflict, on the battlefield and in the human heart. The flaming events of the Texan war for independence, from the Alamo to the final struggle at San Jacinto, when the Texans, with their fifes and drums playing a popular song, "Will You Come to the Bower," defeated Santa Anna, are magnificently detailed, hour to hour, day by day. So, too, is Camilla's long journey into Texas where, seeking Perry in a wilderness of despoilers, ragged armies, and fleeing women and children, she discovered, as Perry had said, that love is the only conqueror of death. The excitement of the novel lies in several things: the sense of historic truth about what really happened during those desperate months; the feeling of identification with the thoughts and actions, the manner of life, of the many characters, both real and fictional, that crowd the pages; and a total involvement with the spirit and the ideals of a time of misery and glory.
