Description
"Written by a direct descendant of the McMullan family, The Elusive Eden is the first study of Frank McMullan's colony. The book sheds new light on a forgotten episode of Texas and Latin American history. Drawing on a vast body of unpublished documentary material, some still in private hands, it opens a new vista on the troubled years following the Civil War."--back cover.
