Origin and Fall of the Alamo (Illustrated)

Certainly, the Alamo is viewed by most Americans as the pivotal site of the U.S.'s conflict with Mexico. How and when the Alamo was established, and what events surrounding it took place before its fall, are not generally known or discussed. This short book, some 60 printed pages, was written by a member of the Committee of the Alamo Association, fills those gaps. It was carefully researched, and is, perhaps, one of the more accurate descriptions of the Alamo and events surrounding it. In addition, its photographs and illustrations may not be easily found elsewhere. A wonderful book for anyone interested in Texas and U.S. history.

Please note that the vast majority of spelling errors have not be corrected unless so serious that the meaning of the section was compromised.

This edition of the book contains the seven original illustrations, rejuvenated, and seven additional place-, time-, and subject-relevant illustrations that are unique to this edition.
