Well done triple biography of Davy Crockett, Jim Bowie and William Travis. As another reviewer has stated, the book isn't so much about the Alamo but rather the lives of these three men up until then, and how the mythology of their lives was created afterwards. Extensively researched with a deep bibliography and 150 pages of footnotes!
