Book Description
Defended by 188 brave freedom fighters and assaulted by an overwhelming force of arms, the Alamo became a galvanizing symbol for the Texans fighting against Mexican rule in the early nineteenth century. The Alamo not only recounts the stirring tale of the legendary defense of the mission by a small band of larger-than-life heroes, but also chronicles the site’s history from the 1820s through the immediate aftermath of its history-making days in 1836.
