Things Worth Fighting For

Nobody'd ever called James anything but a good kid--right up until the accusations started flying. Now his uncle has turned on him, and Betsy thinks he's a creep. He's got no reason to stick around. Besides, the paper says that folks in Texas are fighting off an oppressive government, just like George Washington did. He could join up, and fight right alongside Jim Bowie! But getting to Texas won't be easy. By the time James arrives in Natchez, he's been through enough to have grown up a bit. Good thing, too. He'll need all the maturity he can muster, when he finds himself deeply involved in the battles of the Texas Revolution, including the Alamo, Goliad, and San Jacinto.
