Yellow Rose of Texas: The Myth of Emily Morgan tells the fact based story of the African-American woman who inspired the world famous folk song. In this graphic novel the adventures of Emily Morgan reveal the Texas war for independence through the eyes of a black woman who survived the Alamo and played an important part in winning the war. While the story of Texas is told with attention to historical detail, the story of Emily is elevated to a romantic myth.
“the story of Texas is told with attention to historic detail...the full color illustrations by Joe Orsak are very nicely done and he is an excellent artist/illustrator. This book has an ‘EXCELLENT+’ rating”—The Lone Star; “I greatly enjoyed this graphic novel which tells the foundation myth of Texas in an appropriately traditional and direct fashion. It’s very easy to imagine it as a John Ford western. In the love story of Emily Morgan and Deaf Smith, we are presented with a story of hope overcoming prejudice”—SF Site.
