The Texan Triumph: A Romance of the San Jacinto Campaign

by Joseph A. Altsheler

Overview

The Texan Triumph is the final volume of Joseph Altsheler's 3-volume Texan Series. Each volume is a complete story in itself, and is based on the Texan struggle for liberty against the power of Mexico. This revolution, epic in its nature, and crowded with heroism and great events, divides itself naturally into three parts. The third part shows the coming of light in the darkness, Houston's crowning victory at San Jacinto, and the complete victory of the Texans.

About the Author

Joseph Alexander Altsheler was born in Three Springs, Hart County, Kentucky to Joseph and Louise (Snoddy) Altsheler. In 1885, he took a job at the Louisville Courier-Journal as a reporter and later worked as an editor. He started working for the New York World in 1892, first as the paper's Hawaiian correspondent and then as the editor of the World's tri-weekly magazine. Due to a lack of suitable stories, he began writing children's stories for the magazine.

Altsheler married Sarah Boles on May 30, 1888, and had one son. He and his family were in Germany when World War I began. The difficult journey home took a toll on Altsheler's health and he was never the same. He died in New York City in 1919.
