13 Days to Glory: The Siege of the Alamo (Volume 2)… by Lon Tinkle

Book contains 13 stories from the people at the Alamo. The Alamo is one of the most important battles in the Texas Revolution where we were outmatched, outmanned, and out gunned, but we took some people with us. Great for helping students understand the significance of the Alamo and learn it different from a textbook.
