Stories that need to be remembered.

Most of these people’s lives would have been forgotten many years ago had they not of been written down for our benefit. The Indians were truly savages. It wasn’t all piece pipes and fishing. It was pure savagery and depredations especially with the Comanches.

Written in 1888, incredible first hand accounts

Written in 1888, by a man who lived through the Texas Indian war. The language used is of that time and a bit archaic, but the first hand accounts, are very interesting.

Outstanding

Excellent stories packed with the struggles and heroism of early Texans. Great narration made it easy to listen to.

excellent book about texas history

the book is very good and I was so impressed with the quality and the narration

In this day it sounded fairly murderous and racist, but that was how it was in those days

The stories were interesting. It was interesting to hear about those days and the places that I know so well about Texas. However, the reader or narrator badly butchers the word “escape”, he says eks-scape. Over and over. And the place names many times are butchered too: San Wasinto instead of San Jacinto, Sabinal, Uvalde, Perdenales, and a few others, including surnames too. But, it was good history.

Good story, poor narrator

Not once did the narrator pronounce “escape” correctly. He also apparently does not know that a mounted force is a cavalry, not a Calvary. He badly mispronounces Texas place names and several other words as well. It’s hard to believe this narration was allowed to stand; did no one listen before this was finalized?

A bit one-sided

A lot of very storys unheard story's
this is a very one-sided the Indians where always bad guys. Never talked about the whites wrong doings. I was hoping for a book that was balanced the good and bad of both races not so one-sided.

great story, writing etc...

the narrator completely ruined it!! what a waste of my one and only and last available credit!!

Too much redundancy

Reader always pronounced escape with an X.

Should learn to spell.
Audible’s 15 word minimum is absurd, Insulting to minimalists.
