Contents:

Voluntary Mexicans: allegiance and the origins of the Texas Revolution / Eric Schlereth -- "Imitating the example of our forefathers" : the Texas Revolution as historical re-enactment / Sam W. Haynes -- Politics and profits: Mexican officials and land speculation in Texas, 1824-1835 / Miguel Soto -- The Texan Revolution of 1835-1836 and early Mexican nationalism / Will Fowler -- "Time's noblest empire is the last" : Texas annexation in the presumed course of American empire / Amy S. Greenberg.

Summary: To a large degree, the story of Texas' secession from Mexico has been undertaken by scholars of the state. Early twentieth century historians of the revolutionary period, most notably Eugene Barker and William Binkley, characterized the conflict as a clash of two opposing cultures, yet their exclusive focus on the region served to reinforce popular notions of a unique Texas past. Disconnected from a broader historiography, scholars have been left to ponder the most arcane details of the revolutionary narrative-such as the circumstances of David Crockett's death and whether William Barret Travi.
