520 ⊔ ⊔ ‡aIn this day-by-day, hour-by-hour account that follows, you will witness the re-creation of one of the most exciting, inspiring moments in American history. In this action-packed drama, Lon Tinkle reveals the men behind our native myths--the great figures of American legend as they were at the time of their martyrdom. Here is Jim Bowie, hard-drinking, hard-living giant beloved by all the men at the Alamo except the Regular Army man who contested his command--Travis, superior, stern, a puritan everywhere and to everyone except his diary and his women. Here, too, is colorful Davy Crockett, down with Tennessee Boys for a little fighting ... There are thirty-two men from Goliad who come to fight knowing there is no hope for survival. You will be fascinated as you watch the strange spinning of the web of ironies and circumstances that led inexorably to the climax of March 6, 1836. Completely authenticated, documented from actual records, 13 Days to Glory tells of a stirring moment in American history. Shot through with vitality and explosive action, it is a tribute toe Texas in her finest hour -- Book jacket.
