"The exciting tale of a young Mexican-American man who came of age during the formative years of Texas history"In 1839, Jose Policarpo Rodriguez came north with his father from Zaragosa, Mexico, to the Republic of Texas. Poli was ten years old when he arrived in Texas, and he and his father settled in the Hill Country near San Antonio. Poli grew up with Comanches, surveyed territory for the Republic of Texas and the United States Army, fought against warring Indians, and mapped settlements for nineteenth-century German settlers in Texas. He was the first non-Indian to discover the Big Bend Country and Cascades Caverns, and during the Mexican-American War and the Civil War, he was Captain of the San Antonio Home Guard. Caught between the three main elements that made up early TexasMexicans, Indians, and Angloshe struggled to decide where his true loyalties lay, and his decisions showed a kind of courage that was rare in those days. . .and is still rare today."

Only buy this book if you like right wing politics. Otherwise you’ll hate it.
Format: Hardcover
I would definitely choose a different book about Pope Leo. The first thing I noticed when this $32 “Definitive Biography” arrived was how thin it was. I opened it up to large writing and big margins. Definitive biography? $32? Then he spends the first 3 chapters bashing Pope Francis. It’s right wing politics. He even talks about Democrats wanting to pack the U.S Supreme Court! We all know it’s packed with conservatives from Trump. He finally gets to talking about Leo in Chapter 5 - but the first paragraph in that chapter bashes Francis! I’m trying to read more but he keeps adding little digs about Francis. The author appears to keep praising “traditionalists” but how is it traditional to bash the pope? John Paul II and Benedict were too conservative for me but I still respected the Holy Fathers, just disagreed. So I looked up the author and saw “Heritage Foundation,” “Hoover Institute,” and “Newsmax contributor” by his name. I didn’t want to buy a political book! I don’t usually write reviews on Amazon but felt I had to in this case for this overpriced political spiel…
