Lon Tinkle (1906–1980)

A fascinating and very compelling account of the Alamo, told in 13 chapters.
It is very moving and also includes random weird details (the "Come and Take it" Flag was made from a wedding dress, Santa Anna apparently tried to adopt Susanna Dickinson's daughter, etc.) that I had never heard before.
The descriptions of the men of both sides feel well balanced.
The endnotes are helpful, and I hope to use the suggested reading list at some point.

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.
