This new book joins his previous work on the shortlist of the handful of essential works on Crockett and his times. Exhaustive research and careful interpretation, with considerable new information, make this authoritatively and clearly written volume an instant classic for those interested in Crockett, the Alamo, and the history of revolutionary Texas."
