"General Houston's Little Spy follows Samantha as she embarks on a dangerous mission to assist General Sam Houston and his small fledgling army in their fight against Santa Anna's superior military force. Young Samantha Russell wants only to marry her fiancé, Danny Autry, and move to Texas, the vast Mexican territory newly opened to American settlers. Texas, with its seemingly unlimited natural resources and land, proves irresistible to this young couple seeking a place to begin a new life. But once there, they soon find themselves caught up in the Texan settlers struggle against the Mexican dictator, Santa Anna, and his tyrannical rule. After tragedy strikes at the fall of the Alamo, Samantha vows to seek revenge. General Houstons Little Spy follows Samantha as she embarks on a dangerous mission to assist General Sam Houston and his small fledgling army in their fight against Santa Annas superior military force. Little does Samantha know that the outcome of this fight will not only decide the fate of Texas, but will ultimately alter the futures of two powerful nations."
This is an excellent historical fiction for Middle and High school students, and adults as well. It follows the facts of the battles for the San Antonio citizens at the Alamo in an understandable but complete manner, as well as the the growth of the other early settlements in Texas. The protagonists are young people eloping from Tennessee to Texas, and that journey is also authetic. This is a wonderful glimpse into another time that tweens and teens can understand and empathise with - please read it, parents, and share it with your kids.
