“Col. Thomas T. “Ty” Smith has long been the premier historian of the old Army in Texas. With this new volume, he takes readers on a wild and delightful ride with the US military into the heart of the Garza War that engulfed South Texas from 1891 to 1893. This remarkable and exceptionally well researched volume is certain to captivate readers.”—Jerry Thompson, author of Cortina: Defending the Mexican Name in Texas “Ty Smith presents another massive exposition of meticulously researched archives to unearth historical milestones of Texas history. As Smith concludes, the significance of this minor rebellion—initiated by one man—is that it ‘was the smoldering harbinger of a growing anti-Diaz resentment that burst into a full flame in 1910.’ It is no less than Smith’s homage to the Tejano families for the courage, ideology, and legacy of the Insurrectos.”—Andrés Tijerina, author of Tejanos and Texas Under the Mexican Flag, 1821–1836
