Learn moreThe Battle of the Alamo is one of the most dramatic moments in American history—a stirring saga that has become a modern myth in which all Americans, and especially Texans, take great pride. Poet, novelist, and historian John Myers Myers gives us a fascinating account of this American symbol. With exhaustive research and obvious passion for his subject, Myers evokes the situation and characters of the legendary siege, bringing to life such figures as Bowie, Travis, Crockett, and Santa Ana with authentic details and great gusto. Here is the “master tale of the American frontier” with all the facts behind the genuine heroism that has made the story immortal.
John Myers Myers (1906–1988), noted for his thorough research and vivid style, is also the author of Doc Holiday, Tombstone’s Early Years, and The Saga of Hugh Glass: Pirate, Pawnee, and Mountain Man.
Robert Morris is the founding lead senior pastor of Gateway Church, a multicampus church based out of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. Since it began in 2000, the church has grown to more than 71,000 active attendees. His television program is aired in over 190 countries, and his radio program, Worship & the Word with Pastor Robert, airs in more than 1,800 radio markets across America.
He serves as chancellor of The King's University and is the bestselling author of numerous books, including The Blessed Life, Frequency, Beyond Blessed, and Take the Day Off. Robert and his wife, Debbie, reside in Dallas, TX, and have been married 40 years and are blessed with one married daughter, two married sons, and nine grandchildren.
Reviews
“Here is a historian with the vitality and drive to match his subject. A reporter of the first rank, he can clothe the dry bones of history with the living stuff of which today’s news is made.”
“The majority of the stories of the Alamo fight have been partly legendary, partly hearsay, and at best fragmentary. It has been left to John Myers Myers to present an exhaustively researched book which reveals the chronicle of the siege of the Alamo in an entirely different light…Myers’ story will stand as the best that has yet been written on the Alamo…It’s a classic.”
“[A] personally enthusiastic investigation of one of America’s heroic frontier legends…Outstanding in its recapitulation and assessing of available material.”
