"The majority of the stories of the Alamo fight have been partly legendary, partly hearsay and at best fragmentary. It has been left to John Myers Myers to present an exhaustively researched book which reveals the chronicle of the siege of the Alamo in an entirely different light. . . . Myers' story will stand as the best that has yet been written on the Alamo. . . . It's a classic."-Boston Post "Here is a historian with the vitality and drive to match his subject. A reporter of the first rank, he can clothe the dry bones of history with the living stuff of which today's news is made."-Chicago Tribune John Myers Myers authored sixteen books, including Doc Holliday and Tombstone's Early Years, also available as Bison Books.
Industry Reviews
A new, personally enthusiastic investigation of one of America's heroic frontier legends, that examines discrepancies and rumor, and attempts to untangle the confusion which has surrounded the familiar but little known story of a courageous defense...It builds up the background of the mission and the settlers, and the troubles with Mexico; it profiles Bowie, Travis, ??rockett, Santa Anna, and details the parts they played in the siege. It chronicles the events of the days that led to the final assault and the defeat of the defenders....Possibly not the definitive book on the Alamo, but outstanding in its recapitulation and assessing of available material. A master tale of an American symbol. Sure of a regional audience. (Kirkus Reviews)
