To a Different Drummer (Paperback, illustrated edition)

In the mid 1670?s, Juan Ignacio de Castilla y Riojas commands a 15 ship Spanish Armada to the New World, where he weds Doqa Antonia Cortinas and starts a family that in 1922, intersects with a pioneer Texas family from Scotland and starts the Lyalls of Texas. This is the story of struggles to succeed, the Riojas in Mexico, and the Lyalls in Texas. While their generations take wild swings seeming to always march to a different drummer, in the end, their point of encounter is the same, Eagle Pass, Texas.
