Homesteads Ungovernable: Families, Sex, Race, and the Law in Frontier Texas, 1823-1860 (Jack and Doris Smothers Series in Texas History, Life, and Culture, Number Three)
"This is a delightful book. It makes an important contribution to historical scholarship on Texas and the Southwest, race relations, and several discrete subjects within family law, in particular marriage and the rights and duties of partners outside of marriage." Elvia R. Arriola, Visiting Professor of Law, De Paul University
