Still early into my journey with this book. I've read other accounts of this time in history but this is the one that from the opening sentence, I've found most interesting detailing the events leading up to the Battle of The Alamo. It has painted a scene(s) in my mind that I had been unable to imagine previously. I've managed to visualize William Travis, James Bowie and several other figures in the story moving about, though Davy Crockett has yet to be introduced. It digs into the mindset and attitudes of the Texians of the time.

Highly recommended to this point!!
