Gustave Aimard 
Border Rifles [EPUB ebook] 
A Tale of the Texan War

In the mid-1830s, Americans living in the then Mexican-controlled colony of Texas began to bridle against the increasingly strict rule of the government. This sentiment eventually boiled over into full-bore revolution in 1835 and 1836. French writer Gustave Aimard sought to dramatize these events in a series of action-packed historical novels, beginning with The Border Rifles.
