Contains over one hundred descriptions of the Battle of the Alamo by people who were witnesses or who claimed to have witnessed the event. These accounts are the basis for all of the histories, traditions, myths, and legends of this famous battle. Many are conflicting, some are highly suspect as to authenticity, but all are intriguing.
On March 6, 1836 one of the most well-known Americans of his time
fought and died in one of America's most celebrated battles. In
recent years the fate of David Crockett at the Alamo has become a
subject of controversy and debate. Did he die fighting? Did he
surrender? Was he executed? Today, conventional historical wisdom
dictates that Crockett was taken alive during the Battle of the
Alamo and executed with a handful of others on the direct order of
General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna.

From personal accounts to extensive footnotes and a bibliography, Groneman provides updates to previously published information regarding the Alamo and also brings new information to light.
