For the first time, the true story of "The Yellow Rose of Texas" is told in full, revealing a host of new insights and perspectives on one of America's most popular stories. For generations, the Yellow Rose of Texas has been one of America's most popular western myths, growing larger over time and little resembling the truth of what happened on April 21, 1836, at the battle of San Jacinto, where a new Texas Republic won its independence. The woman who has been popularly connected to the story was an ordinary but also quite remarkable free black woman from the North, Emily D. West. This work reconstructs her experience, places it in full context and explores the evolution of a most fanciful myth.

A notorious gunslinger with a vendetta. A brokenhearted woman determined to heal. An extraordinary rose. 1878 and present-day are about to collide... Colton Chase searches for the monster that murdered his parents. It's been ten years and every day that passes only fuels his grit. When he plucks a single rare rose, a wicked thunderstorm catches him in its wrath, and after the clouds clear, his whole world has changed. Madison Calloway is on a business trip to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, when she quite literally stumbles into the biggest horse she's ever seen. The rugged old man leading the animal looks like he stepped out of a historical Wild West catalog. Her love of antiques is piqued, and she strikes up a conversation. He claims he's from 1878 and she feels bad for him; clearly, he suffers from dementia. But there's an uneasy undertone-everything from his clothes to his strange turns of phrase back up his story. So when another storm brews and he tells her he's going back, she follows. The two find themselves in 1878 and the old man is gone-in his place a strapping young man, handsome, fascinating, and irresistible. Can Madison adjust to life more than a century in the past, or will she return home and forever lose the man she's falling for? Her biggest fears are realized when she's abducted by Colt's fierce enemy, and if she survives, this event may well send her running home for good. **Dusted off and refreshed with plenty of new material, this classic tale will grab you until the last page, the BONUS EPILOGUE guaranteed to keep your head spinning!
