The Alamo Delegate: The Odyssey of Jesse B. Badgett (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798987398104)

As the new nation expanded westward in early 1813, a party of travelers set out from coastal North Carolina bound for a journey none could imagine: Jesse B. Badgett and his family would help settle the then-unchartered lands of the American South.

But when destiny called, Jesse left his new life behind to deliver the last hope for his compatriots: a single letter.

The only biography of the state's most overlooked hero, The Alamo Delegate recounts the striking story of the expert rider who carried the fate of Texas in his saddlebag.
