Synopsis

The Encyclopedia of the Alamo and the Texas Revolution acts as a comprehensive A-to-Z guide to the people, places, battles, politics, and documents from the settlement of Texas through the forming of the Republic. Myths are debunked and controversies are resolved. The 13-day Siege and Battle of the Alamo has been highlighted with an exclusive detailed day-by-day account. Chronologies assist in placing every event in its proper perspective.
Biographies of revolution participants from both sides of the border include every Alamo defender as well as prominent Mexican army officers, many of whom have been heretofore overlooked by more notable names like Crockett and Santa Anna.
Maps and an extensive bibliography of both American and Mexican resources are the finishing touches to this work.
