Eagle Pass: Or Life On The Border (1852) is a book written by Cora Montgomery. It is a memoir that provides a vivid description of life on the Texas-Mexico border during the mid-19th century. The author, who was a resident of Eagle Pass, Texas, narrates her experiences of living in a region that was constantly plagued by violence, lawlessness, and political turmoil. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of life on the border. The author describes the challenges faced by the settlers who had to deal with bandits, Comanche Indians, and Mexican raiders. She also sheds light on the social and cultural practices of the people who lived in the area, including their religious beliefs, customs, and traditions. Eagle Pass: Or Life On The Border is a unique account of a period in American history that is often overlooked. It provides valuable insights into the lives of the people who lived in a region that was at the forefront of the struggle for Texas independence and the Mexican-American War. The book is written in a simple and lucid style, making it accessible to readers of all ages and backgrounds. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the American West and the Texas-Mexico border.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
