Ole Devil at San Jacinto

The Texans' defeat at the Alamo had embittered their bloody rebellion with the gall of revenge. But Major General Sam Houston was determined to meet Santa Anna's superior forces on his own terms. While the Mexican Army--fifteen hundred strong--camped on the banks of the San Jacinto, it fell to three men of the Texas Light Cavalry to even the odds. At their lead was the "Ole Devil" himself, Jackson Baines Hardin. If anybody could pull off a behind-the-lines mission--an impossible victory in their struggle for freedom--he could. Even if it meant dying to do it. J.T. Edson brings to life the fierce and often bloody struggles of untamed West. His colorful characters are linked together by the binding power of the spirit of adventure -- and hard work -- that eventually won the West. With more than 25 million copies of his novels in print, J.T. Edson has proven to be one of the finest craftsmen of Western storytelling in our time. The series contain the adventures of "Ole Devil" Hardin, Dusty Fog's uncle, a general during the Texan War of Independence (1836). Later, Jackson Baines "Ole Devil" Hardin is the owner of the OD Connected ranch, the ranch for which The Floating Outfit rides.
