Editorial Reviews

Review

This was originally published in 1917, reconstructing the history of the Alamo to pre-colonial times and focussing on the role of women and minorities in the Alamo legend and Texas history. This new edition has been edited by professor Richard Flores and remains an important historical document and piece of Hispanic literature, recommended for any serious study of the Southwest, American history, or cultural influences in this country. -- Midwest Book Review
