SUMMARY

From Sam Maverick's arrival in Texas to his death in 1870, he participated in many of the most momentous events of the state's early history, including the Siege of Bexar and the defense of the Alamo. He accumulated a fabled land empire and inspired the term "maverick" to denote an unbranded calf or an independent person. Sam's wife, Mary--by some accounts the first Anglo-American woman to settle in San Antonio--lived through the stresses and tragedies of pioneer family life, chronicling them with emotional intensity and immediacy of detail. Together Sam and Mary founded a Texas family dynasty and contributed immeasurably to the cultural development of San Antonio.Marks, Paula Mitchell is the author of 'Turn Your Eyes Toward Texas Pioneers Sam and Mary Maverick', published 1989 under ISBN 9781585440818 and ISBN 1585440817.
