(Cover does not match the one pictured - this is used solely for illustration)

A huge, riveting, deeply imagined novel about the siege and fall of the Alamo in 1836, an event that formed the consciousness of Texas and that resonates through American history which follows the lives of three people whose fates become bound to the now-fabled fort: Edmund McGowan, a proud and gifted naturalist whose life's work is threatened by the war against Mexico; the resourceful, widowed innkeeper Mary Mott; and her sixteen-year-old son, Terrell, whose first shattering experience with love leads him instead to war, and into the crucible of the Alamo.

This paperback is filled with dramatic scenes and abounds and historical personalities - among them James Bowie, David Crockett, William Tramis and General Santa Anna.

This is in good condition - no tears, missing pages. It does have a little aging. History buffs will enjoy the mix of fact and fiction.
