Autorenporträt
Albert Lytle Partee is an attorney who lives and writes in Brentwood and Sewanee, Tennessee. After visiting the Alamo and living for a year in Dallas, he acquired a life-long interest in the Texas Revolution. A graduate of Vanderbilt University, he retired after over thirty years of practicing law, primarily with the Attorney General of Tennessee and as general counsel for the Tennessee Department of Health. He now spends his time with his wife, children, and grandchildren while exploring interests in writing, history, travel, birds, and restoring Onteora, a cabin built in 1898.
