She chronicles Jewish buccaneers with Jean Lafitte at Galveston; she tells of Jewish patriots who fought at the Alamo and at virtually every major engagement in the war for Texan independence; she traces the careers of immigrants with names like Marcus, Sanger, and Gordon, who arrived on the Texas frontier with little more than the packs on their backs and went on to build great mercantile empires. Cattle barons, wildcatters, diplomats, physicians, financiers, artists, and humanitarians are among the other notable Jewish pioneers and pathfinders described in this carefully researched and exhaustively documented book.\u003cbr\u003eFilling a substantial void in Texana and Texas history, the Texas A\u0026amp;M University Press edition of Natalie Ornish's \u003ci\u003ePioneer Jewish Texans\u003c\/i\u003e brings back into circulation this treasure trove of information on a rich and often overlooked vein of the multifaceted story of the Lone Star State.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Texas A\u0026amp;M University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781603444231\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.30h x 8.70w x 1.20d","brand":"Natalie Ornish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52537428705461,"sku":"9781603444231","price":25.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_70e4cd78-f643-4605-9a8b-be0cbcd6d5fe.jpg?v=1779169508","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/pioneer-jewish-texans-9781603444231","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
