Once you meet Isaac Bladen, you'll never forget him. The Eyes of Texans: From Slavery to the Texas Capitol is an award-winning book by Melvin E. Edwards, an award-winning newspaper reporter/columnist, and a former legislative speechwriter for long-time Texas Lt. Governor and Governor Rick Perry. Edwards' thirty years of genealogy research confirmed family stories that had been told for decades, exposed some that weren't accurate, and discovered details that had long been buried. These first-person accounts will capture your attention and take you on a drive-by of the past 200 years of American and Texas history. This is a story of Texas through the eyes of true Texans. From a slave in the 19th century to a governor's speechwriter by the end of the 20th century. It is a creative re-telling based on actual events and family stories.
