The Courier

<p>Andrew Jackson Sowell was a civilian courier for Colonel William B. Travis commandant of the Alamo. While a student at Trinity University in San Antonio I discovered a plaque in the Alamo upon which Sowell was memorialized.</p><p>More than fifty years later I chose Sowell to be the central character in my first novel The Courier. Sowell's service during the Texas War for Independence is both exciting and surprising.</p><p>Enjoy your ride with him.</p>
