His leadership of his beloved Texas still resonates today\u2014150 years after he became governor. Richard Coke: Texan<\/em> weaves a rich mosaic of real people and events, immersing the reader in the life and times of Richard Coke.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n *<\/p>\n* Coke brought Texas out of Reconstruction following the Civil War and is often credited with restoring democracy to the state after this perilous time. Richard Coke: Texan tells the story of a young Virginia lawyer who emigrated to a Texas frontier village and changed history. It follows Coke as he starts a new life in Waco, Texas, serves in the Civil War, endures the hardships of Reconstruction, and is called to serve as governor to rebuild the state and restore rights to local government and the people of Texas. The story of Coke and his legislature taking office is one of the more dramatic moments in Texas history, with Coke\u2019s predecessor, Edmund Davis, engaging armed forces to occupy the Capitol in an attempt to remain in office. But the true story lies in the leadership Coke demonstrated as a committed citizen, an honored soldier, a dedicated governor, and later as a respected senator\u2014the effects of which still influence the government of Texas today.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n *<\/p>\n* Before the advent of digital technology, much of the record of this time was inaccessible to researchers. Authored by Rosser Coke Newton Sr., an indirect descendant of the governor, the book is enriched by first-person accounts, Coke family records, Richard Coke\u2019s direct correspondence, and documented events from journals and debates of constitutional conventions, the Secession Convention, and legislative sessions. These are supplemented by newspaper articles, census records, city directories, and a myriad of other sources compiled at the time. These sources have been combined into Richard Coke: Texan<\/em>, which not only delivers a rich history of the era but also offers a personal look at one of Texas\u2019s greatest leaders.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n *<\/p>\n* CLICK TO PURCHASE:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Amazon<\/a> \| B&N<\/a> \| Bookshop.org<\/a> \| TAMU Press<\/a> <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Stoney Creek Publishing<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n +Add to Goodreads<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n $\"\"$ ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/strong> Rosser Coke Newton Sr., a native Texan and prominent Dallas businessman, is an indirect descendant of Richard Coke, the 15th governor of Texas.
