Overview
Personal stories of tragedy, bravery, ego, and cowardice in this often- overlooked battle for Texas independence.
This fast-moving narrative presents the struggles of the participants, both Texan and Mexican, and reveals the overriding egos and bad planning on both sides of the war.
By the beginning of the 19th century, the revolution against Spanish rule in the Americas and the westward expansion of the United States caught Texas in the middle of a battle for independence. On March 6, 1836, a Mexican army of 6,000 soldiers attacked and killed 189 revolutionaries in the Alamo. Exactly three weeks later, 342 surrendered Texans were executed at Goliad, the lesser-known of these two important battles.
