"Tejano Leadership in Mexican and Revolutionary Texas is one of the
most impressive books I have read in years. Thoroughly researched
by eleven eminent scholars, the book is incisive and balanced, as
well as revelatory and absorbing. Academic and general readers will
love these ingenious and incisive biographical sketches of leading
Tejanos in what is undeniably the most crucial era of Texas
history."--Jerry Thompson, Regents Professor of History, Texas
A&M International University-- (05/12/2009)
"These carefully researched and well-documented chapters of varying
length are more integrated than often happens in an edited work,
with connections and interactions shown among key figures.
Thoughtful conjecture is provided as to their motives behind the
actions of these Tejano leaders. Another strong point is that the
contributors do not assume extensive knowledge on the part of the
reader but provide necessary background and context. Tejano
Leadership in Mexican and Revolutionary Texas is a valuable
addition to the growing diverse historiography on the Southwest.
Through effective use of the biographical approach, de la Teja and
the other notable scholars involved in this project have produced
an edited work that is greater than the sum of its
parts."--Harriett Denise Joseph, The Journal of Southern History--

"It is nearly criminal that we have had so little reliable
biographical work on the major leaders of Mexican and Revolutionary
Texas. With this book, that all changes. It is a major
achievement."--Gregg Cantrell, professor of history, Texas
Christian University--Gregg Cantrell "professor of history, Texas
Christian University "
"Tejano Leadership in Mexican and Revolutionary Texas is a major
step in filling in gaps in our understanding of this important
period in Texas History. This collection of essays, written by some
of the most respected scholars in the field, presents readers with
a clear picture of the lives and roles of native Texans who lived
in a tumultuous age. It's destined to become a
standard."--;/div>--Richard Bruce Winders "Historian and
Curator, The Alamo "
