The Alamo

By Shirley Raye Redmond

Book Overview

Victory or Death! Texas, the twenty-eighth state to join the Union, fought one of the United States's most famous battles at the Alamo. The Texans and native Tejanos, with the help of volunteers including Davy Crockett, would have rather died than surrender their freedom to Mexico. Even though Mexican soldiers outnumbered the Texans, the Texans held strong for longer than anyone could have imagined. No one will ever forget the battle at the Alamo because it was the site of a heroic struggle against overwhelming odds and a place where men made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom.
