*''Dare-Devils All: The Texan Mier Expedition, 1842-1844'' (ISBN 978-1-57168-214-7) (1964). This volume of more than seven hundred pages is the full account of the Mier Expedition, a Texas [[militia]] which attacked the [[Mexico|Mexican]] border community of Ciudad Mier on December 26, 1842. The men were seeking financial gain and retaliation for the Dawson Massacre in which thirty-six Texans had been killed by the Mexican Army. In the infamous black bean episode of the Mier Expedition, the Texans were forced to draw black or white beans from a pot to determine who would be allowed to live and who would be killed by firing squad. Seventeen drew black beans from a pot of mostly white beans and, along with one other who drew a white bean, were executed on March 25, 1843. ''Dare-Devils All'' was shortened to 547 pages and re-released in December 1997, after Nance's death, under the editorship of [[Archie P. McDonald]]<ref>{{cite book|url=http://www.amazon.com/dp/1571682147|title=Dare-Devils All: The Texan Mier Expedition, 1842-1844|publisher=Eakin|date=1997|isbn=1-57168-214-7|accessdate=January 21, 2020}}</ref> (1935-2012), historian at Stephen F.
