Reviews

"... carefully clarifies the fascinating adventure of Dr. James Grant, the 'rogue British agent' of the Texas Revolution. Reid removes the enigmatic historical shroud from Grant and eloquently illustrates the Scotsman as a key player in Great Britain and the United States' long-term struggle for North America." - William R. Chemerka, founder of The Alamo Society, editor of The Alamo Journal"
