Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After dark on March 3, 1836, Louis "Moses" Rose slipped over the walls of the Alamo and through Santa Anna's surrounding 4,000 Mexican soldiers to escape certain death. On March 6, three days latter, the thirteen-day siege ended. All combatants inside the Alamo walls were killed. Rose made his way to safety and lived another 14 years. There are among those who write and comment on historical events who have referred to him as a "coward and shiftless drifter" evidently because he did not stay and die at the Alamo. Who was Louis "Moses" Rose and was he indeed a coward and shiftless drifter?

Book Synopsis Pioneer Jewish Texans by : Natalie Ornish
Download or read book Pioneer Jewish Texans written by Natalie Ornish and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With more than 400 photographs, extensive interviews with the descendants of pioneer Jewish Texan families, and reproductions of rare historical documents, Natalie Ornish’s Pioneer Jewish Texans quickly became a classic following its original release in 1989. This new Texas A&M University Press edition presents Ornish’s meticulous research and her fascinating historical vignettes for a new generation of readers and historians. She chronicles Jewish buccaneers with Jean Lafitte at Galveston; she tells of Jewish patriots who fought at the Alamo and at virtually every major engagement in the war for Texan independence; she traces the careers of immigrants with names like Marcus, Sanger, and Gordon, who arrived on the Texas frontier with little more than the packs on their backs and went on to build great mercantile empires. Cattle barons, wildcatters, diplomats, physicians, financiers, artists, and humanitarians are among the other notable Jewish pioneers and pathfinders described in this carefully researched and exhaustively documented book. Filling a substantial void in Texana and Texas history, the Texas A&M University Press edition of Natalie Ornish’s Pioneer Jewish Texans brings back into circulation this treasure trove of information on a rich and often overlooked vein of the multifaceted story of the Lone Star State.
Book Synopsis As Texas Goes...: How the Lone Star State Hijacked the American Agenda by : Gail Collins
Download or read book As Texas Goes...: How the Lone Star State Hijacked the American Agenda written by Gail Collins and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2012-06-04 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Gail Collins is the funniest serious political commentator in America. Reading As Texas Goes… is pure pleasure from page one.” —Rachel Maddow A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year (Nonfiction) As Texas Goes . . . provides a trenchant yet often hilarious look into American politics and the disproportional influence of Texas, which has become the model for not just the Tea Party but also the Republican Party. Now with an expanded introduction and a new concluding chapter that will assess the influence of the Texas way of thinking on the 2012 election, Collins shows how the presidential race devolved into a clash between the so-called “empty places” and the crowded places that became a central theme in her book. The expanded edition will also feature more examples of the Texas style, such as Governor Rick Perry’s nearsighted refusal to accept federal Medicaid funding as well as the proposed ban on teaching “critical thinking” in the classroom. As Texas Goes . . . will prove to be even more relevant to American politics by the dawn of a new political era in January 2013.

Book Synopsis Sacrificed at the Alamo by : Richard Bruce Winders
Download or read book Sacrificed at the Alamo written by Richard Bruce Winders and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Battle of the Alamo is one of the most compelling stories from American history. Students of the battle often wonder why William B. Travis and his small garrison were left alone to meet their fate at the hands of General Santa Anna. Author Richard B. Winders, the historian and curator at the Alamo, examines events that led to this epic struggle and concludes that in-fighting among the revolutionary leadership doomed the Alamo garrison. The Texan victories of 1835 created discord among rebel leaders as various factions strove to direct the revolution to meet their own specific goals. That bickering resulted in an almost total breakdown of Texan military forces as individual commands were swept into the political battle. The democratic fervor of the 1830s worked against building a cohesive Texan Army and was largely responsible for the twin tragedies of the Alamo and Goliad. Informative and provocative, Sacrificed at the Alamo will appeal to general readers as well as students of the classic battle and its important place in Texas history.

Download or read book For the Liberty of Texas written by Edward Stratemeyer and published by . This book was released on 1909 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For the Liberty of Texas is a tale complete in itself, but it forms the first of a line of three volumes to be known under the general title of Mexican War Series. Primarily the struggle of the Texans for freedom did not form a part of our war with Mexico, yet this struggle led up directly to the greater war to follow, and it is probably a fact that had the people of Texas not at first accomplished their freedom, there would have been no war between the two larger republics." -- from the Preface.

Book Synopsis The Second Battle of the Alamo by : Judy Alter
Download or read book The Second Battle of the Alamo written by Judy Alter and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-01-10 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By 1900, the tale of the 300 Texians who died in the 1836 battle of the Alamo had already become legend. But to corporate interests in the growing City of San Antonio, the land where that blood was shed was merely a desirable plot of land across the street from new restaurants and hotels, with only a few remaining crumbling buildings to tell the tale. When two women, Adina Emilia De Zavala, the granddaughter of the first vice-president of the Texas Republic, and Clara Driscoll, the daughter of one of Texas’s most prominent ranch families and first bankers, learned of the plans, they hatched a plan to preserve the site—and in doing so, they reinvigorated both the legend and lore of the Alamo and cemented the site’s status as hallowed ground. These two strong-willed, pioneering women were very different, but the story of how they banded together and how the Alamo became what it is today despite those differences, is compelling reading for those interested in Texas history and Texas’s larger-than-life personality.
