“Texas Tales & Tall Ships” by Malcom Lee Johnson will be featured at LA Festival of Books in Spring 2022

The Lone Star State has a glorious history. Formerly part of Mexico, Texas was an actual nation, a republic before it became the 28th state in the United States. This and other history facts and stories are shared in the history book “Texas Tales & Tall Ships” (Dorrance; 2021) by Malcom Lee Johnson.
 
Why read “Texas Tales & Tall Ships?” The author asks, “Have you ever wondered how many ‘Republics of Texas’ there have been? Have you ever wondered how many artillery pieces Santa Anna actually had at the siege of the Alamo? Have you ever wondered where, when, and by whom the remains of the Alamo Defenders were actually buried?
 
“Have you ever wondered what role Texas played during World War II? And, were there any casualties? Have you ever wondered where the original capitol of Texas was?”
 
The answers to these and other jaw-dropping questions are found in two volumes of “Texas Tales & Tall Ships,” which shares all the little stories and facts that history buffs will never learn in school. All information in the book is gleaned from a number of sources, including original letters, original military orders, and various other original documents found within a number of publications and the Texas State Archives.
