It is 1832, and the high tariffs that protect northern industry are crippling the South.  President Andrew Jackson thinks force is the answer to the South's threats of secession.  Robert must pay a final-hour visit to Washington, as an appeal to Jackson and Congress to pass a compromise tariff before the country is torn apart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike his father and grandfather before him, James Fallon is a man of vision and iron will, determined to succeed.  But where his forebears were men of the sea, he is a man of the land, the vast land of northern Mexico--a land called Texas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJames sets out for Stephen Austin's colony of Americans with dreams of a horse-breeding empire.  The land is harsh enough, but he soon learns that Fallon's past harbors deadly shadows--Cordelia Applegate and Gerard Fourrier.  With political influence, hired \u003ci\u003epistoleros\u003c\/i\u003e, and Comanches, they seek to destroy all Fallons.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut James has more pressing troubles.  He and the other settlers, including Jim Bowie, Austin, and Sam Houston, are outraged as their rights of property come and go with the shifting winds of Mexican politics. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRumors of Santa Anna's rise to power in Mexico City have driven the Americans to prepare to fight for the land that has absorbed their sweat and blood. Santa Anna will soon be on the march to drive the \u003ci\u003eyanquis \u003c\/i\u003eout of Mexico, and events are moving swiftly toward the conflagration that will give birth to the Republic of Texas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49381194760496,"sku":"BDcmm8","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/cmm8-cover.jpg?v=1761767287","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-cmm8","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
