Excerpt from The Adventures and Recollections of General Walter P. Lane, a San Jacinto Veteran: Containing Sketches of the Texian, Mexican, and Late Wars, With Several Indian Fights Thrown In.
These recollections -might be styled semi-historical, for while the writer does not assume to write history, there is much of history in the little volume, but narrated in a man ner to give it a charm superior to dry history, and it is therefore, adapted to the entertainment of those minds which have neither the inclination nor time to read What a large number consider dull reading.
This little book, while unpretending, is not only not te dions, but diverting, and will, we are confident, be received by the reading public with pleasure and gratification.
