This book is a family history, but it's also the history of Texas. -MIKE COX Austin, Texas In They Slept Upon Their Rifles, sixth-generation Texan, Marshall Kuykendall, introduces the newcomer to what University of Texas historian Walter Prescott Webb called the "high adventure" of researching the past. To one who knows and loves Texas history, he introduces us to the Kuykendall clan, rooted deeply in Texas (the Old 300) and American history. It is a great and compelling story. -RON TYLER Former Director, Texas State Historical Association Few American families can tell a story that covers ten generations as they moved from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The Hardemans and the Polks come readily to mind, but none have had a chronicler who tells their story with the verve, candor, and humor that characterizes this account. -AL LOWMAN Past president of the Texas State Historical Association
