Book review - "A Time to Stand" by Walter Lord (1961)
History of the Alamo. Readable, seems to be well researched for the time, a bit racist (Texan enthusiasm for slavery is dealt with in one sentence). It would've been gutsy then to suggest Crockett was shot after surrendering. The ending is exciting.
