Jane Wilkinson Long
An introduction to the life of Jane Wilkinson Long, a Texas pioneer who experienced the early days of that state and who was the mother of the first Anglo baby born there.
Jane Long of Texas
Regarded by many as the "Mother of Texas," Jane Wilkinson Long is curiously absent from most history books. Now, this painstakingly researched novelization reveals the fascinating life of the little girl who would grow up to become both a spy and revolutionary in Texas's fight for independence from Mexico. Against her family's wishes, the wealthy and headstrong Jane, at the age of sixteen, married Dr. James Long, a veteran of the War of 1812, who hoped to use his wife's fortune to build an army to conquer "Tejas." In fighting for his lost cause, Long lost his life in Mexico City. His wife, extremely suspicious of the circumstances surrounding his death, set out on a quest to solve the mystery. Her mission would soon lead her into Texas . . . and into the annals of history.
