When a ten-year-old Texan moves to Haiti in the 1950's, she is instantly plunged into a world of voodoo, zombies and political unrest. To her, it is a paradise.Living in Camp P??ligre, a construction camp miles from civilization, Lizbuthann, her parrot, Pee Wee, and their best friend, Doux Doux Boudreaux, spend many hours roaming jungle paths on horseback, swimming untamed rivers, swinging from Tarzan ropes dangling from giant kapok trees, and indulging in a little unwelcome "snoopery" inspired by childhood detective novels. Unfazed by tropical disease, storms, and varmints, Lizbuthann is determined to delve into an even more dangerous and forbidden world: witchcraft and zombies. Her precocious and curious nature inevitably lands her, and everyone around her, in a heap of havoc.Innocence and evil compete in this humorous coming-of-age fictography that takes us back to another time and place, where rivers-and little girls-ran wild and free.

NOT another story about Davy Crockett, Jim Bowie, Sam Houston and the boys. Decades before Crockett, Bowie or Houston even set foot in Texas, Frederick Stockman was already there. 
Author Elizabeth Schwartz, a ninth-generation Texan, has delved deep into her ancestral roots to create this moving story of the Frederick Stockman familys' courageous determination to make Texas their home during the turbulent period between 1806 and 1836. 
The Texicans was inspired by a Texas history book calling her ancestral clan a "congenial society for evil"--rogues "skilled in many forms of villainy" for their role in the tumultuous years of first Spanish, the Mexican rule. 
Frederick Stockman and his family immigrate to Spanish Texas in 1806 to ranch, but soon find themselves inexorably drawn into the bitter conflict between Mexico and Spain. They join forces with a dashing young Spanish deserter, Miguel Gonzales, in his successful campaign to liberate Mexico and Texas from Spanish rule. Their ties are further cemented when Gonzales marries into the family. 
As Heroes of Mexico, the Texicans--staunch supporters of Mexican rule for Texas--find themselves vilified by North American settlers illegally flocking across the unprotected border. These newcomers, calling themselves Texians, view Mexico, Mexicans and Texicans as the enemy. Targets of bigotry, the Texicans themselves are torn along cultural lines as their hero-turned-despot, General Santa Anna, propels them towards a deadly showdown.
