Excerpt from Reminiscences of the Texas Republic: Annual Address Delivered Before the Historical Society of Galveston, December 15, 1875 The following address is the Annual Address dellvered Dec. 15, 1875, by invitation, before the Historical Society of Galveston. It was written without any expectation of present publication. It has not hitherto been the practice of the society to publish addresses delivered before it. In the society's letter of invitation, it was intimated that personal reminiscences and anecdotes characteristic of the men and times of the early history of Texas would be acceptable topics. This is mentioned to account for the introduction of some reminiscences and anecdotes. My memorandums increasing in bulk beyond my expectation, as I proceeded, the limits of an address obliged me to omit many recollections and anecdotes which I intended to present.

This richly detailed biography of Andrew Jackson Donelson (1799-1871) sheds new light on the political and personal life of this nephew and namesake of Andrew Jackson. A scion of a pioneering Tennessee family, Donelson was a valued assistant and trusted confidant of the man who defined the Age of Jackson. One of those central but background figures of history, Donelson had a knack for being where important events were happening and knew many of the great figures of the age. As his uncle's secretary, he weathered Old Hickory's tumultuous presidency, including the notorious "Petticoat War." Building his own political career, he served as US chargé d'affaires to the Republic of Texas, where he struggled against an enigmatic President Sam Houston, British and French intrigues, and the threat of war by Mexico, to achieve annexation. As minister to Prussia, Donelson enjoyed a ringside seat to the revolutions of 1848 and the first attempts at German unification. A firm Unionist in the mold of his uncle, Donelson denounced the secessionists at the Nashville Convention of 1850. He attempted as editor of the Washington Union to reunite the Democratic party, and, when he failed, he was nominated as Millard Fillmore's vice-presidential running mate on the Know-Nothing party ticket in 1856. He lived to see the Civil War wreck the Union he loved, devastate his farms, and take the lives of two of his sons.

"Drawing on previously unexploited primary sources, Belko illuminates the wide-ranging influence of Duff Green as land speculator, entrepreneur, lawyer, militia officer, politician, and newspaper editor. Disputing common assumption, Green is portrayed as a political moderate and independent westerner who played a fundamental role in the shaping of Jacksonian America"--Provided by publisher.

"Highly recommended." —Choice “Meticulously researched . . . will provoke thought and discussion on the relationship between the peculiar institution and diplomacy in this important and growing field of study.” —H-Net “In this brilliant, stunning book, Horne shows us how the issue of slavery still intrudes upon our national discussions."—Ishmael Reed, John D. MacArthur Fellow Throughout the history of the early republic, many African Americans viewed Britain, an early advocate of abolitionism and emancipator of its own slaves, as a powerful ally in their resistance to slavery in the Americas. This allegiance was far-reaching, from the Caribbean to outposts in North America to Canada. In turn, the British welcomed and actively recruited both fugitive and free African Americans, arming them and employing them in military engagements throughout the Atlantic World, as the British sought to maintain a foothold in the Americas following the Revolution. In this path-breaking book, Horne rewrites the history of slave resistance by placing it for the first time in the context of military and diplomatic wrangling between Britain and the United States. Painstakingly researched and full of revelations, Negro Comrades of the Crown is among the first book-length studies to highlight the Atlantic origins of the Civil War. Gerald Horne is Moores Professor of History and African-American Studies at the University of Houston. His books include The Deepest South: The United States, Brazil, and the African Slave Trade and Race War!: White Supremacy and the Japanese Attack on the British Empire (both available from NYU Press).
