Review # 1 was written on 2014-08-14 00:00:00 Kevin Shorten Growing up in Texas, it is all but impossible NOT to hear the stories of the Battle of the Alamo. How heroes like Bowie, Travis, and Crockett held off an overwhelming army for almost 2 weeks, only to fall to the last man at the hands of Santa Anna. And how this defeat, like the one that was to come for Fanin at Goliah, would be the rally cry for the Texas War for Independence. This book, while a "novelization" of the most recent movie about the Alamo, helps to tell the story, in simple terms, of those 13 days of the siege, and the part Houston had in the same war. I would recommend this book for anyone not familiar with Texas history, but wanting to get a bit of a background.
