The story of the Parker family beginning with the days when Texas was part of Mexico as early as 1830 and tracing their incredible history through a century and three-quarters to today, based on a wealth of previously unpublished early Parker documents. The author introduces hunter-searcher James Parker; statesman Isaac Parker and his friend Sam Houston; Sul Ross, youthful soldier, Governor of Texas, and later, President of Texas A&M University; and Cynthia Ann Parker and her famous son, Quanah.
