stands have always fascinated us, yet this legendary struggle at the
mission outside San Antonio has generated surpisingly few quality
books. This new volume delves deep into the lives and experiences of
the men and women of the Alamo, answering questions about the battle
and the major players on both sides. How did the Mexicans view the
fight? Did Davy Crockett really survive the battle, only to be
excecuted afterward? Why did Sam Houston offer Santa Anna such
lenient terms after the Battle of Jacinto? Mary Deborah Petite is
editor of "May I Quote You General Longstreet?" and a longtime
student of the Alamo and the Texas Revolution. She lives in San Jose,
California.
