So gather around, because I have a story to tell. I’ll warn you, it’s bloody.
This is the story of how Texas became a nation before it was a state. It’s a story of Spain, Mexico, and the United States.Of land, shifting borders, and betrayal.
It's the story of thousands of people—Mexicans; white immigrants from the US; Black people, many of whom were enslaved; Indigenous people of different nations.
And it's the story of six men: a rambler, a rascal, a rowdy, a rogue, a raconteur, and a tyrant. Their choices created a day of furious violence at the Alamo, and two more on the Texas plains. By the time it was all over, three of the men would be dead, and I would be soaked in blood.
Guess I still have feelings about that.
Acclaimed author Katie Kennedy offers another brutally honest — and wildly entertaining — account of one of the foundational myths of American history in this fresh new take on the creation of Texas and the stories we tell about it.
