Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of the Alamo, a mission and fortress in Texas, and its pivotal role in the fight for Texan independence from Mexico. The author delves into the history of the region, tracing its discovery by French explorer La Salle and the subsequent Spanish claim to the territory. The book details the establishment of missions and settlements by Franciscan friars, highlighting the importance of these institutions in both religious and military terms. It explores the struggles between France and Spain for control of the region, culminating in Spainââ â¢s final claim to the territory west of the Mississippi. The book then shifts its focus to the growing American presence in Texas. The author recounts the adventures of American pioneers like Philip Nolan and Augustus Magee, whose efforts to establish an independent Texas republic ultimately failed. He describes the growing resentment of the American colonists under Mexican rule, leading to the Texan Revolution of 1835. The author vividly recounts the siege of San Antonio, the capture of the Alamo by Texan forces, and the eventual recapture by the Mexican army under Santa Anna. The book culminates with the epic and tragic siege of the Alamo, which became a symbol of Texan courage and sacrifice in the fight for independence. Through this gripping narrative, the book provides a comprehensive and insightful account of the Alamoââ â¢s enduring legacy within the broader context of Texan history.

Soft Cover. Condition: Good. First Edition. Scarce material. Same date at title and copyright pages. Gray matte wraps, moderate corner, edge wear. Frontispiece plate of the Alamo. Pages very good, clean, many intriguing photo plates and battle plans of historical Texas. Signed on cover by W. Dwight Pierce, a doctor and author of many books. Two heroic poems at end w/names of honored dead, including David Crockett, Private. Each era has its own version of right and justice. The history of Texas has been recorded in the blood of its martyrs. The Lexington of the American revolution had its counterpart in the Alamo; San Jacinto was the Yorktown of the Lone Star. Naturally, the greater American revolt was greater by the virtue of momentous interests involved; but the struggles, defeats and success of the Texas wars for independence are thrilling in interest and equally as illustrative of the courage, fortitude and self-denial of the American pioneer as those which characterized the contest between the American colonies and England. In that contest an Anglo-Saxon foe pursued a civilized warfare. In the Texas revolution the enemy was a Latin. Too often was his side of it waged upon the principle that "all is fair in love and war," massacre, rapine and arson weaving their red thread throughout the course of the struggle. Press of James T. Roney & Co., Chicago. 131 pages. Insured post. [Cover: The Alamo] Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Book.
