John Crittenden Duval (1816–1897), often named the 'Father of Texas Literature,' distinguished himself as a chronicler of the Texan frontier and its colorful history. Born in Kentucky, Duval ventured to Texas in the mid-1830s, a period rife with revolutionary fervor against Mexican sovereignty. Although he narrowly escaped the harrowing Goliad Massacre during the Texas Revolution, the experience significantly influenced his later writings. His pivotal work, 'Adventures of Big-Foot Wallace (Illustrated Edition),' recounts the escapades of the legendary Texas Ranger, William Alexander Anderson 'Bigfoot' Wallace, blending historical facts with folklore thereby embellishing the Texan heroic archetype (Duval, 1870). Duval's literary style is characterized by a blend of humor, anecdote, and a detailed, vivid depiction of frontier life. His prose captures the rugged landscape and the resilient spirit of the Texan people. Duval's narrative not only provides entertainment but also a valuable cultural record of Texas during a time of transition and turmoil. As the first Texan to write purely for literary purposes, he paved the way for Texas's regional literature, providing a foundation that would inspire future writers to preserve and celebrate the unique Texan identity.
