Description

John Rees, soldier and freedom fighter, was a shadowy figure who surfaced during two crucial nineteenth-century revolts and then disappeared from history.

For the first time, John Humphries reveals the fate of the man, first mentioned as a member of the New Orleans Greys, who fought for Texan Independence at the Alamo and narrowly escaped execution at the Goliad Mission.

Later, he was one of the main agitators in the doomed Welsh Chartist movement before retreating to the American West.

Rees spectacular journey from the bloodied sands of Texas to the last armed uprising on British soil is only one of the stories told in this history book.
