The Young Texans Series

The Galveston Hurricane of 1900 left death and destruction in its wake, but young Elsie Drummond survived. In this volume of the Young Texans Series, we return to 1900, a time without effective hurricane tracking technology or warning systems. Elsie Drummond is celebrating her 11th birthday with friends when the storm approaches. As the hurricane gathers intensity, Elsie's mother escorts the party guests home and instructs the young girl to prepare for the onslaught of the storm.

This Young Texan Series audiobook follows the journey of Henry Belkin from his home in Missouri to Tejas in Mexico. Young Henry Belkin's life changes when his father announces they are settling in Stephen F. Austin's new colony. Austin's promise of inexpensive and fertile land in the new settlement comes with a requirement of allegiances to Mexico and the Catholic faith. When the Belkins' journey is beset with difficulties, Henry wonders whether the move to this new land is worth the price.
