Texana for Kids

From the book: This book is about little Dilue Rose and her family who came to Texas in 1833 when Rose was eight years old. They settled near Harrisburg and experienced the hardships and adventures that were prevalent when Texas was struggling to gain its independence from Mexico. "Texas Rose" is based on Dilue's reminiscences of her life and early days. She wrote her memoirs in her later years and they were published in the 1900, 1901, & 1904 issues of "The Quarterly of the Texas State Historical Association." Great for younger kids (ages 8+) who live in Texas or who are interested in early frontier life.
