This is what could have happened in 1942 if the outcome of history had been different....

Through a harsh land of mesquite and prickly pear, scattered oaks and carpets of stubborn grass, the Brazos River wound its way south to the Gulf of Mexico. To its banks came settlers from across America, daring men and women who dreamed of owning ranches and farms, building homes for their families, and one day establishing a United States republic in Mexican-held Texas.

Harlow Brewster had purchased the North Basin grasslands from the Shoshone fair and square, and paid for the land with blood.
