Coyote O'Donohughe, son of a Mexican Creole soldier and a Comanche Shaman, learns shape shifting from his mother and turns the tide of history in the Mexican Revolution, at the Alamo, the Battle of San Jacinto, and in the Comanche wars against the Texas Rangers.
Chuck Rosenthal treats the English language like it's his personal ball of Silly Putty, stretching and
warping it in ways you can't imagine, and leaving you gasping for air from laughing so much. I've been known to snort tequila out of my nose just remembering some Rosenthal passage I read the day
before. WARNING: This book can be harmful to your sinuses.

In prose that swings between war-whoop and lullaby, Coyote O'Donohughe's History of Texas is Chuck Rosenthal's mad waking dream of the wild, tragic, hilarious concoction that used to be called the "American character."
—Michael Ventura
Coyote may get Rosenthal arrested for understanding wild women, for finding intimacy where there's trouble, and for gambling with God when his guard is down.
