The Texan Triumph is the final volume of Joseph Altsheler's 3-volume "Texan Series." Each volume is a complete story in itself, and is based on the Texan struggle for liberty against the power of Mexico. This revolution, epic in its nature, and crowded with heroism and great events, divides itself naturally into three parts. The first part, described in "The Texan Star," begins in Mexico with the treacherous imprisonment of Austin, the Texan leader, the rise of Santa Anna and his attempt, through bad faith, to disarm the Texans and leave them powerless before the Indians. It culminates in the rebellion of the Texans, and their capture, in the face of great odds, of San Antonio, the seat of the Mexican power in the north. The second part, entitled "The Texan Scouts," is the coming of Santa Anna with an overwhelming force, the fall of the Alamo, the massacre of Goliad and the dark days of Texas. Yet the period of gloom is relieved by the last stand of Crockett, Bowie, and their famous comrades. The third part is described here in "The Texan Triumph." It shows the coming of light in the darkness, Houston's crowning victory at San Jacinto, and the complete victory of the Texans.
