The Adventures of Big-Foot WallaceWilliam A. Wallace (1816 1899) went from his native Virginia to Texas in 1836, shortly after the battle of San Jacinto, for the purpose . . . of taking pay out of the Mexicans for the murder of his brother and cousin. His experiences as a hunter, Indian fighter, member of the Mier Expedition (1842 1844), defender of the old Republic in the Mexican War, and Texas Ranger were chronicled by his comrade John C. Duval in this free hand biography, first

William A. Wallace (1816-1899) went from his native Virginia to Texas in 1836, shortly after the battle of San Jacinto, for the purpose . . . of taking pay out of the Mexicans for the murder of his brother and cousin. His experiences as a hunter, Indian fighter, member of the Mier Expedition (1842-1844), defender of the old Republic in the Mexican War, and Texas Ranger were chronicled by his comrade John C. Duval in this free-hand biography, first published in 1870.

Because Duval, as the editors note, felt free to adapt his materials in order to make the book more interesting and used many novelistic devices, in his own way he achieves something of the effect of the twentieth-century school of biographers. He makes his characters live. Although Part I, dealing with Big-Foot's adventures as a hunter and Indian fighter, is a mixture of fact and fiction, Part II, the account of his role in the Mier Expedition, is unretouched, told from the point of view of an actual participant, and stands as the most realistic straight narrative of this dramatic chapter in Texas history. It] is the heart of the biography. The Indian adventures are a prologue for it; and Part III, the final comedy of Big-Foot in the settlements, makes an epilogue.

In this classic of early Texas, the reader will recognize three literary traditions of the nineteenth century: the journals and memoirs of the pioneers; the romantic adventure story; and the broadly humorous yarn of the American frontier.

Light weight and large privacy screen
Color: Black, Color: Black
The privacy screen is light weight and of great quality. The screen can block sight and also is easy to set up. It screen is sturdy and stable. It is a cheap solution for separating paces in rooms. The privacy screen is of black color and good good in many places. It can be folded when not used and does not take much space for storage.

Great divider!
Color: Black, Color: Black
This was really easy to set up and really works to decide the room. The material is dark enough that you have your privacy. Good for the price

Over all review
Color: Black
It’s not a bad divider, the instructions are okay but once I figured it out on my own it was easy. The quality is fine I like how it’s made of metal. The only downside is fall for me is the height. I’m 5”4” yet it’s suppose to be 6 feet tall but it seems to be a little shorter than that. If it was taller and the instructions a little more clear it would get 5 stars.
