THE TRAIL OF INDEPENDENCE is the much anticipated sequel to EARLY FRONTIER LIFE and THE FREE TRAPPERS in the continuing saga of Jedediah Beech.
It chronicles the life of Jedediah Beech as he moved his band back to eastern Texas in 1830 and homesteaded the site where the old Hasinai Caddo village once stood.
Their intentions to be peaceful citizens of the Mexican State of Coahuila y Tejas were soon in peril as tensions escalated between the Anglo settlers and the tumultuous government of Mexico.
Jedediah’s well-known reputation for not backing down from a fight soon involved him in several conflicts that eventually led to the independence of the Texas Republic.
