Seumas McKinnon has just retired from an advertising job in Melbourne, Australia. He would be free to travel overseas, as a widower with no attachments--except for his son, Alasdair, a successful lawyer. Although they're grown men, Seumas and Alasdair share a strong dependency. And even though Seumas loves his son he decides it's time for some time apart. He heads to Scotland's legendary and bilingual Isle of Skye, where he hopes to embrace his familial roots and learn some Gaelic along the way. Initially, the separation is hard on both of them, but soon, Seumas meets Morag, a lovely, charming woman whom he immediately finds attractive. They strike up a relationship, even though both know he plans to return to Australia. Back home, Alasdair meets someone too--Annie O'Hare, a physiotherapist recently returned from Hong Kong. Initially, she refuses to take him seriously. Apart father and son seem to thrive. Eventually, Seumas returns home, happy to feel some distance from his clingy son. Then a tragic and nearly fatal accident occurs, which bonds the McKinnon boys more than ever before. Perhaps Seumas's trip to Scotland was in vain? Or perhaps his absence gave him a chance to appreciate the true importance of love and family?

History of the savage Karankawa Indians, who once inhabited the coastal regions of Texas.

The Texas State Historical Association is pleased to offer a reprint edition of Stephen F. Austin: Empresario of Texas, Gregg Cantrell’s path-breaking biography of the founder of Anglo Texas. Cantrell’s portrait goes beyond the traditional interpretation of Austin as the man who spearheaded American Manifest Destiny. Cantrell portrays Austin as a borderlands figure who could navigate the complex cultural landscape of 1820s Texas, then a portion of Mexico. His command of the Spanish language, respect for the Mexican people, and ability to navigate the shoals of Mexican politics made him the perfect advocate for his colonists and often for all of Texas. Yet when conflicts between Anglo colonists and Mexican authorities turned violent, Austin’s accomodationist stance became outdated. Overshadowed by the military hero Sam Houston, he died at the age of forty-three, just six months after Texas independence. Decades after his death, Austin’s reputation was resurrected and he became known as the “Father of Texas.” More than just an icon, Stephen F. Austin emerges from these pages as a shrewd, complicated, and sometimes conflicted figure.
