Description

A protégé of David Crocket and Sam Houston, Ben McCulloch led an extraordinary life as a frontiersman, entrepreneur, and soldier. Despite McCulloch’s many success, Cutrer reveals, his career was hampered because he was not a member of the West Point-trained cadre that gained influence in the 1850s.
