Synopsis "WHAT A TEXAS! The Life and Times of Louis P. Cooke (in English)"
WHAT A TEXAS! The Life and Times of Louis P. Cooke is about the real life adventures of a young man who came to Texas to fight in the Texas revolution. Leaving West Point, he joined other volunteers on the ship Matawomkeg ready for adventure in a new land. His voyage to Texas included being falsely imprisoned as a pirate in the Bahamas, almost ship wrecking near Cuba and a brawl in New Orleans. His life in Texas after the revolution saw him elected to Congress twice and by age 24 serving as Secretary of the Navy. His daring spirit got him into self-made trouble in a gunfight which led to a murder trial; but that same bravado made him a leader among men and spurred his brave actions against marauding Indians, Mexican bandits and an invading Mexican Army. Exhibiting the same bravery, he served as a spy for the U.S. Army during the Mexican-American War. Born a Kentuckian he died a Texan. This is his story.
