Summary: Coudn't put it down.
Review: Through the captivating reading of a fictional tale, "Not Between Brothers" gives the reader an understanding of Texas life from the early days of Stephen Austin's Colony of Anglo settlers to the beginning of the Civil War (1816-1861). Based on historical research and "for historical accuracy first and foremost", the author provides an unromaticized perspective of Tejano ranchers, Anglo settlers and Comanche warriors and the clash of these three proud societies. Read the author's Amazon.com posting to understand the intent of this book and his desire to portray the characters "warts and all". For it is this more realistic and human portrayal of the three different cultures that defined Texas that make this book an award winner. Experience the history of Texas from the perspectives of fictional early settler Remy Fuqua, his Tejano wife, rancher father-in-law and vaqueros, and Comanche warrior Kills White Bear-their values, aspirations, attitudes toward each other and motivations for dramatic actions during these formative years in Texas and American history. The book will give you the easy reading escape of a good novel while stimulating your thinking and awareness of our heritage.
