Most Texans don't know that the Texas Revolution began and ended with naval battles. They don't know that, though small, the Texas Navy was the most advanced in the world in 1839. Many also don't know that Texas had a first rate uniformed Navy, Marine Corp, and Coast guards. This book will enlighten both the average Texan wanting to know more about an important part of Texas history, and many who have read other books on the subject. It also delineates the intense dislike Sam Houston had for the Texas Navy and especially its Commodore, Edwin Ward Moore, whom he saw as a rival for attention Originally intended to be notes for a historic novel, the author soon realized they were more valuable as both a data source for researchers and also an exciting true narrative of the exploits of the Texas Navy. As such, it is written and arranged for two distinct audiences, the lay reader and the researcher. It corrects some of the errors and discrepancies between other books and presents new data from primary sources in the Zavala Museum behind the Capitol Building in Austin.
