Last Stand at the Alamo
The
story of the Alamo has been told and retold in books and films so many
times that the truth is often difficult to distinguish beneath the
layers of dramatic license. Alden Carter’s Last Stand at the Alamo
strips away the myth to recount the events as they really
happened. At last a good explanation for young people of how and
why 183 Texans and many times their number of Mexican soldiers died
fighting over a tumbledown mission in a dusty corner of Texas.

and straightforward”
