Willis and Joe Newton were 1920s bank robbers and their book offers an unusual portrait of Texas and the Southwest, especially because of the brothers' belief in the essential corruption of business and government institutions. The book, dominated by older brother Willis, is unwieldly, but should interest Texas history buffs. ``We wasn't thugs like Bonnie and Clyde . . . we was just quiet businessmen,'' declares Willis of the four-brother gang; he goes on to explain how his initial false imprisonment on a theft charge led him to disregard the law. Joe, on the other hand, ``was kind of following the leader.'' In 1924, after many successes, the gang's $3 million Illinois train robbery led to their capture. Amid the book's wealth of detail about their movements and tactics emerges some homespun wisdom; Willis declares that prisons are more schools for crime than for reform. Willis died in 1979 at 90, and Joe died in 1989 at 88. A clean very presentable copy.…

This new historical narrative recalls one of the most exciting periods in Texas history, when a firebrand renegade from Tennessee, Sam Houston, emigrated to the Mexican state of Tejas helped lead the revolution of 1836, which broke the area off from Mexico, making it the free nation of Texas. This comparison of the adversaries Santa Ana, archetypal Mexican caudillo, and Sam Houston, Texas patriot, paints fascinating portraits of two charismatic men, flawed in many ways, but dominant in history, and remembered for radically different outcomes.
