After the Massacre: The Violent Legacy of San Sabá Mission. By Robert S. Weddle. (Lubbock: Texas Tech University Press, 2007. xviii + 196 pp. Illustrations, map, appendices, notes, bibliography, index. $32.95.)

Overall, however, the book remains rooted in the storytelling of the narrative tradition—and that is a good thing.
