A Line in the Sand, The Alamo in Blood and Memory

A Line in the Sand, The Alamo in Blood and Memory

by James Stuart Olson  •  Randy Roberts

  • HISTORY
  • 2002
  • PAPER
  • 368 PAGES

An informative history of the Alamo and how it lives on in history texts, John Wayne movies and modern border wars. The authors make no bones about it: they want to debunk the Alamo myths, once and for all. Their book is not recommended for members of the Davy Crockett fan club or the Santa Anna fan club, but nonpartisan readers will do well to read it.  (TEX47, $24.95)
