| book description |

Author Harriett Denise Joseph relates biographies of eleven notable Mexicanos and Tejanos, beginning with Santa Anna and the impact his actions had on Texas. She discusses the myriad contributions of Erasmo and Juan SeguÃn to Texas history, as well as the factors that led a hero of the Texas Revolution (Juan) to be viewed later as a traitor by his fellow Texans. Admired by many but despised by others, folk hero Juan Nepomuceno Cortina is one of the most controversial figures in the history of nineteenth-century South Texas. Preservationist and historian Adina De Zavala fought to save part of the Alamo site and other significant structures. Labor activist Emma Tenayucaâ€™s youth, passion, courage, and sacrifice merit attention for her efforts to help the working class. Joseph reveals the individual and collective accomplishments of a powerhouse couple, bilingual educator Edmundo Mireles and folklorist-author Jovita GonzÃ¡lez. She recognizes the military and personal battles of Medal of Honor recipient Raul â€œRoyâ€ Benavidez. Irma Rangel, the first Latina to serve in the Texas House of Representatives, is known for the many â€œfirstsâ€ she achieved during her lifetime. Finally, we read about Selenaâ€™s life and career, as well as her tragic death and her continuing marketability.
