Duval","description":"John Crittenden Duval (1816-1897) was an American writer of Texas literature. He has been noted as being the first Texas man of letters 1] and was dubbed the \"Father of Texas Literature\" by J. Frank Dobie. 2] His Early Times in Texas was initially published serially in 1867 in Burke's Weekly (Macon, Georgia) and was finally published in book form in 1892. The story, which became a Texas classic, recounted Duval's escape from the Goliad Massacre, in which his own brother Burr H. Duval was killed, as well as other tales. Another brother, Thomas Howard DuVal, was a distinguished Texas judge. The men's father, William Pope Duval, was a long-time Territorial Governor of Florida.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50351783018770,"sku":"9781533076281","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_877c3b5b-23a3-4701-92de-d186dfc7b4be.jpg?v=1737066968","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/early-times-in-texas-1892-by-j-c-duval","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
