The Littlest Vaquero: A Story of the First Texas Cowboys, Longhorns, & the American Revolution
Written by: Maureen Liles
"During a cattle drive from Texas to Louisiana aiding the American Revolutionary war effort, hard work earns young Manuel Ruafaz the right to call himself a true vaquero, a professional horseman and herder. Set in 1779, this work of historical fiction focuses on a little-known aspect of history but suffers from an awkward, stilted narration. Black-and-white drawings appear throughout."
