The Great Texas Dance Book PDF Summary
The Great Texas Dance, Book Two in The Tales of Zebadiah Creed: The State of Texas, Mexico, Early Spring 1836—Because of the promise made to a friend left dead in Louisiana, Zeb finds himself lying on a rooftop of the Alamo overlooking the whole of Santa Anna’s army. As the Mexican red flag flies offering no quarter, he and Grainger, a fellow volunteer with the Texas militia, are called upon by Colonel William Travis to slip out one last message to General Houston, a desperate plea to thwart the bloody siege. Thus, begins Zeb’s harrowing journey, to find Houston and deliver the letter, then sent on to try and convince an insane Colonel Fannin and his four hundred men to retreat from Goliad before they are massacred by Santa Anna’s armies. Along the way, Zeb is joined by James Lee, a boy in search of his father gone off to fight, who unknowingly shares a dark secret Grainger carries that comes to light only after the Battle of San Jacinto, where victory and revenge are not so sweet. Zebadiah Creed tells a tale of the Texas Revolution, not as history, but a personal portrayal of men and the consequences of their decisions, sometimes made during the savagery of battle, most times made in quiet, their desperate acts allowing them no way out other than through loyalty and friendship, or ultimate betrayal. A taut, grim, exciting adventure. Filled with plenty of scrapes and narrow escapes, The Great Texas Dance tells what happened after the fall of the Alamo through the eyes of Zebadiah Creed, a hero as tough as hickory. Author Mark C. Jackson knows how to spin a story.” —Thomas D. Clagett, Spur Award Finalist for Line of Glory “The Great Texas Dance is a lively, action-packed story with rich detail, cinematic settings, and a great cast of historical and fictional characters.” —John D. Nesbitt, Spur-Award winning author of Great Lonesome. "Mark C. Jackson writes lean, leathery prose, gives his characters plenty of grit and gumption, and tells a satisfying story of Texas's fight for independence." —Johnny D. Boggs, Eight Time Spur Award Winner and Author of Return to Red River
