A wonderful collections of artwork, drawings, charts, maps, portraits of relevant figures, and photographs relating to the scene of the early 1836 dodge of the Alamo in San Antonio. For any fan of the subject a great addition to your library which includes a narrative about the origins of the structure, the reproduced letters and reports from the Alamo, and the subsequent history of the structure. Not a long book but more than adequate for its purpose. (
