Moore's reconstructed muster rolls of companies whose original records have been lost are alone worth the cost of this book. - James E. Crisp, author of Sleuthing the Alamo ""Moore maintains his focus throughout, guiding the reader through the maze of administrative problems of a fledgling nation in almost constant conflict. It is a must read for all who appreciate the struggles of early Texas."" - Chuck Parsons, coauthor of Captain L.H. McNelly, Texas Ranger
