Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a novel of the Texas Revolution from first shot to the final victory at San Jacinto and is the story of a young woman and her family who stare certain death in the face. But during its writing a curious thing took place. This novel started as a story based on the events of the revolution and the brave men who fought the terrible battles, and indeed that does still represent an important part of the story. But somewhere along the way a powerful character stepped forward to take over the narrative and tell us her story. She is a remarkable young woman named Sarah Kent and it is through her eyes that we watch the tragedy and heartache of the Texas Revolution unfold. Sarah faces a choice, submit to the dictator or fight with all her heart for freedom and her life. Sarah speaks with a firm and unyielding voice as if willing us to remember her and the other brave men and women of the Texas Revolution.
Book Synopsis The Alamo Artillery by : James V. Woodrick
Download or read book The Alamo Artillery written by James V. Woodrick and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-09 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Alamo Eighteen Pounder. Come and Take It. Phrases without context to outsiders, but not to Texans. These revered, iconic cannons played an outsized role in the creation of the Republic of Texas in 1835 and 1836. Many historians have spent countless hours researching the Alamo artillery to determine what was used in the battle, where they were deployed, and what happened to them after the battle. In some cases the archival record is reasonably clear; in others it is not. The origins of these cannons and their path through Texas history is revealed here for the first time, pieced together from a combination of archival records, accounts of participants, published books and articles, and studies and opinions of professional and avocational historians. The Alamo artillery remaining in San Antonio today has a fascinating history before its use in that fateful battle in 1836. Some of the cannons hark from the Spanish Colonial period, and were made in Mexico. Two of them go all the way back to the early days of the French fort at Natchitoches, Louisiana. And perhaps most interesting of all are the five cannons that were in the fleet of a Galveston pirate in 1817, wrecked in Matagorda Bay, recovered by Spanish troops and sent to San Antonio. Twenty-four cannons were present in the Alamo during the battle on March 6, 1836. Three were removed from San Antonio in May, 1836 by the departing Mexican army, were taken to Matamoros and are lost. Twenty-one of them were buried by Mexican forces before they departed; thirteen were later rediscovered by Sam Maverick in 1852, five by Maverick descendants in 1908 and three by others. Of these, thirteen remain and are on display in San Antonio today. This book reveals their fascinating history. A description of the artillery and its history used at Goliad, Gonzales and San Jacinto is also included.

Book Synopsis Forget the Alamo by : Bryan Burrough
Download or read book Forget the Alamo written by Bryan Burrough and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2022-06-07 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times bestseller! “Lively and absorbing. . ." — The New York Times Book Review "Engrossing." —Wall Street Journal “Entertaining and well-researched . . . ” —Houston Chronicle Three noted Texan writers combine forces to tell the real story of the Alamo, dispelling the myths, exploring why they had their day for so long, and explaining why the ugly fight about its meaning is now coming to a head. Every nation needs its creation myth, and since Texas was a nation before it was a state, it's no surprise that its myths bite deep. There's no piece of history more important to Texans than the Battle of the Alamo, when Davy Crockett and a band of rebels went down in a blaze of glory fighting for independence from Mexico, losing the battle but setting Texas up to win the war. However, that version of events, as Forget the Alamo definitively shows, owes more to fantasy than reality. Just as the site of the Alamo was left in ruins for decades, its story was forgotten and twisted over time, with the contributions of Tejanos--Texans of Mexican origin, who fought alongside the Anglo rebels--scrubbed from the record, and the origin of the conflict over Mexico's push to abolish slavery papered over. Forget the Alamo provocatively explains the true story of the battle against the backdrop of Texas's struggle for independence, then shows how the sausage of myth got made in the Jim Crow South of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. As uncomfortable as it may be to hear for some, celebrating the Alamo has long had an echo of celebrating whiteness. In the past forty-some years, waves of revisionists have come at this topic, and at times have made real progress toward a more nuanced and inclusive story that doesn't alienate anyone. But we are not living in one of those times; the fight over the Alamo's meaning has become more pitched than ever in the past few years, even violent, as Texas's future begins to look more and more different from its past. It's the perfect time for a wise and generous-spirited book that shines the bright light of the truth into a place that's gotten awfully dark.

Book Synopsis Sam Houston and the Alamo Avengers by : Brian Kilmeade
Download or read book Sam Houston and the Alamo Avengers written by Brian Kilmeade and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestseller now in paperback with a new epilogue. In March 1836, the Mexican army led by General Santa Anna massacred more than two hundred Texians who had been trapped in the Alamo. After thirteen days of fighting, American legends Jim Bowie and Davey Crockett died there, along with other Americans who had moved to Texas looking for a fresh start. It was a crushing blow to Texas’s fight for freedom. But the story doesn’t end there. The defeat galvanized the Texian settlers, and under General Sam Houston’s leadership they rallied. Six weeks after the Alamo, Houston and his band of settlers defeated Santa Anna’s army in a shocking victory, winning the independence for which so many had died. Sam Houston and the Alamo Avengers recaptures this pivotal war that changed America forever, and sheds light on the tightrope all war heroes walk between courage and calculation. Thanks to Kilmeade’s storytelling, a new generation of readers will remember the Alamo—and recognize the lesser known heroes who snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.

When the war broke in October 1835, the invading Mexicans, under the leadership of the flamboyant President-General Santa Ana, fully expected to crush a ragged army of frontiersmen. Led by Sam Houston, the Texans rallied in defense of the new Lone Star state, defeated the Mexicans in a mere 18 minutes at the battle of San Jacinto and won their independence.
