For several years Texas was on the brink of a Civil War when Austin residents stood against President Sam Houston after he sent operatives to steal the National Archives. This is the story about why the battle for the Texas Capital was as fierce  - but less bloody - as the revolution against Mexico.

The fascination of Bernard’s book lies in the times in which Edwards lived and the lives on which he impinge.

Meticulously researched, this release contains some truly wonderful old photos and historical information.

 It is superb in every respect!

THE AUTHOR

Lora-Marie Bernard

WRITER. JOURNALIST. RESEARCHER & HISTORIAN.

CONSULTANT. PUBLISHER.

Texas author & storyteller Lora-Marie Bernard writes nonfiction books about interesting Texans and stories that explore the historic relationship between Texas and the global economy.

​

Her family settled in Burleson, Texas near Fort Worth when she was in kindergarten. Her mother was a German immigrant and her father was a first-generation Italian American. They raised her and her brother with small town Texas values and an international mindset. This philosophy deeply influences her approach to her books and storytelling.

​

Her father told her Texas was going to be one of the most prosperous states in the nation for the rest of her life. She believed him. 

​

Educated in the "Texas state of mind" she never questioned that she'd spend her life telling the stories about the state and the people who make its past, present, and future. 

​

From Fort Worth, she moved to Houston/Galveston and lived on the island for several years.  It was on the Texas coastal prairies that she became an award-winning journalist and storyteller.
