Lane emigrated from Ireland as a young boy, fought in three wars, sailed the Texas coast with a privateer, and traveled to California and Arizona in search of gold. What drove this man, who in many ways typifies the adventurers who contributed to the westward expansion in the United States during the early nineteenth century? Through his mining of personal papers, memoirs, contemporary sources, and archived collections, Jimmy L. Bryan Jr. has produced a comprehensive portrait of the man who charged across the field at San Jacinto, aided in the removal of Indians and Tejano settlers from the East Texas Redlands, stormed Monterrey with the Texas Rangers during the U.S.-Mexican War, commanded a brigade of Confederate soldiers during the Civil War, supported the return to white rule during the turbulent Reconstruction era, and served the State of Texas in various public capacities. Bryan shows how the adventurism of Lane and his comrades provided both ethos and impetus for the westward migration. "More Zeal than Discretion" will appeal to historians and readers interested in Texas and the West, the Civil War, and the culture of American manhood. 410 0$aElma Dill Russell Spencer series in the West and Southwest ;$vno. 31. 606 $aVeterans$zTexas$vBiography 606 $aGenerals$zTexas$vBiography 606 $aMexican War, 1846-1848 607 $aTexas$xHistory$yRevolution, 1835-1836 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$yCivil War, 1861-1865 615 0$aVeterans 615 0$aGenerals 615 0$aMexican War, 1846-1848. 676 $a976.4/05092 676 $aB 700 $aBryan$b Jimmy L$01864044 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910964309703321 996 $aMore zeal than discretion$94470750 997 $aUNINA
