My condolences to the family of this master Texan storyteller. He will be greatly missed. What a blessing he is to those of us in love with history - a great American, a marvelous Texan!

Sorry to hear of the passing of this outstanding Texas historian. Que vaya con Dios!My condolences to the family.

We will miss this true advocate of all things good about Texas. He was a wise colleague and good friend during our work together with the Texas Historical Commission. His writings have enriched us all.

Fire and Blood, with Lone Star, are the absolute best of their kind I have found in my years of historical reading. My thoughts go out to his family and we have lost a true scholar/historian. William Mouton, Lafayette, La.

We are sorry to hear of the passing of T.R. Fehrenbach, born in the home of San Benito founder Col. Sam Robertson. May he & we rest in the peace that he left a lasting legacy.

RIP Mr. Fehrenbach. Thank you so much for the wonderful book that ought to be read by every Texan, Lone Star. Godspeed, sir.

Thus passes one of the best Texas historians. His revelations have made many aware of what constitutes the unique Texas psyche and how it came about. His survivors should find some consolation in that his works have affected so many. A life well lived.

Ted will be missed by those that knew him. Fortunately, his great wisdom and keen insight will live on in print.
