Revolution is in the air, something Thomas Buckalew welcomes but his brother Joshua fears, since Joshua is in love with a Mexican girl. The story touches on the immortal battle of the Alamo but centers on the infamous Goliad massacre, and ultimately the decisive battle of San Jacinto, which made Texas an independent republic. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eAfter the Bugles\u003c\/i\u003e begins where \u003ci\u003eMassacre at Goliad\u003c\/i\u003e ends--on the battlefield at San Jacinto. Joshua Buckalew tries to put the pieces back together but finds that starting over in the aftermath of war can be as challenging as the war itself. The racial differences that helped foment the conflict have not gone away. And Texas finds that being an independent republic can be more difficult than being a colonial extension of Mexico.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elmer Kelton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Forge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/02\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780765321916\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElmer Kelton\u003c\/b\u003e (1926-2009) was the award-winning author of more than forty novels, including \u003ci\u003eThe Time It Never Rained\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOther Men's Horses\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTexas Standoff\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHard Trail to Follow\u003c\/i\u003e.
