DESCRIPTION:James W. Russell discusses his book, Escape from Texas: A Novel of Slavery 
 and the Texas War of Independence\n\nIn 1828 James, a slave, arrives in 
 Texas, brought by his owner, Samuel Bingham. Texas is then a part of the 
 Mexican state of Coahuila y Tejas. James comes to Texas because he has no 
 choice. But once there, he finds a postrevolutionary country where slavery 
 is on the way out and his freedom is a real possibility. His owner, though, 
 is determined to take advantage of the low cost of land in Texas to build 
 up a farm into a cotton plantation with the use of slave labor. Over the 
 next nine years James will experience and participate in a series of 
 wrenching events that marked the origins of the Lone Star State.\n\n\nSet 
 in the years surrounding the 1836 Texas War of Independence, Escape from 
 Texas is a solidly researched examination of the clashing aspirations of 
 slaves, slave owners, Indians, and Mexicans during a turning point of the 
 westward expansion of the United States.\n
