David Crockett in Texas: His Search for New Land
"David Crockett in Texas offers a fresh, very clear account of Crockett's road to the Alamo. Allen J. Wiener's research reveals that Crockett did not leave Tennessee to join in the fight for Texas independence, unlike the version portrayed in films and pop culture, but rather to take advantage of the vast land bounties that Texas offered. The book's description of Crockett's true status and role in the Alamo fight itself, as well as his death, is persuasive and well-documented.”
- Stuart Reid, author of The Secret War for Texas
