For the Liberty of Texas

"For the Liberty of Texas" by Edward Stratemeyer is a historical fiction about the Radbury family, specifically brothers Dan and Ralph, living on a Texas frontier ranch in the 1830s during its fight for independence from Mexico. The story opens with the brothers on a hunting trip where Ralph bags his first deer near their cabin along the Guadalupe River, but the celebration is short-lived as they sense danger from Comanches and encounter Hank Stiger, who tries to steal their prize. The narrative highlights the settlers' courage and struggle for existence amid constant threats, setting the stage for a larger conflict as the yearn for freedom ignites their spirit.
