{"product_id":"the-alamo-delegate-the-odyssey-of-jesse-b-badgett","title":"The Alamo Delegate: The Odyssey of Jesse B. Badgett","description":"\"Often the story of the Alamo is dominated by a handful of historical figures such as Crockett, Bowie, and Travis, among others. The Alamo Delegate gives the reader a glimpse into the life of a lesser known Texian volunteer, Jesse B. Badgett, and reminds us that the men who came to the defense of Texas in 1836 were normal men who answered the call of freedom, at great risk to themselves and their families. This book is a captivating story of an Alamo courier who helped change the course of Texas history. The Alamo Delegate is a refreshing new perspective on the struggle for Texian Independence.\" -- Kolby Lanham, Senior Researcher and Historian at the Alamo\n\n\"Fascinating, untold history of one man’s almost accidental – but influential – footprint in the battle for Texas independence. 'Obscure' no longer, Badgett’s story serves as a bold reminder that one man can make a difference.\" -- KK Bruno, Author of Mischiefs and Miseries: A Novel of Jamestown 1607\n\n\"Combining painstaking research with vivid characterization, Partee’s biography demonstrates why we should remember Jesse B. Badgett, an original signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence. From his westward travels from North Carolina to his fateful encounter with history in San Antonio, Badgett’s 'Odyssey' is quintessentially American: a tale of struggle, circumstance, and politics. Highly recommended for readers wishing to know more about this fascinating period.\" -- Thomas E. Jenkins, Ph.D., Professor of Classical Studies, Trinity University\n\nAs the new nation expanded westward in early 1813, a party of travelers set out from coastal North Carolina bound for a journey none could imagine: Jesse B. Badgett and his family would help settle the then-unchartered lands of the American South.\nBut when destiny called, Jesse left his new life behind to deliver the last hope for his compatriots: a single letter.\nThe only biography of the state’s most overlooked hero, The Alamo Delegate recounts the striking story of the expert rider who carried the fate of Texas in his saddlebag.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0C5KVPS72\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0C5KVPS72.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Partee, Albert Lytle\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
