Two For Texas

Two For Texas

To evade capture for a crime he didn’t commit, a fugitive has only one choice: joining the fight for Texan independence.

In the early 1800s, nineteen-year-old Son Holland is falsely accused of stealing a purse and condemned to ten years in a brutal Louisiana prison camp. Determined not to spend the next decade behind bars, Son teams up with a fellow inmate and a beautiful Native American woman, and the trio flees. Killing a guard in the process, however, ensures they’ll face a punishment far worse than the chain gang if they’re caught. They realize their best chance for escape is seeking cover in the violent storm of revolution led by General Houston and James Bowie. Soon they find themselves in the midst of historic battles, attempting to secure not only their own freedom but that of the Republic of Texas.

“Two for Texas is a western that boils down genre conventions the way Balzac did coffee until something dark, bitter, and invigorating is left.”
—The Washington Post
