Title: Sam Houston and the Alamo Avengers Pdf The Texas Victory That Changed American History
In his now-trademark style, Brian Kilmeade brings alive one of the most pivotal moments in American history, this time telling the heart-stopping story of America's fight for Texas. While the story of the Alamo is familiar to most, few remember how Sam Houston led Texians after a crushing loss to a shocking victory that secured their freedom and paved the way for America's growth.
In March 1836, the Mexican army led by General Santa Anna massacred more than two hundred Texians who had been trapped in a tiny adobe mission in San Antonio for thirteen days. American legends Jim Bowie and Davey Crockett died there, along with other Americans who had moved to Texas looking for a fresh start.
The defeat galvanized the surviving Texians. Under General Sam Houston, a maverick with a rocky past, the tiny army of settlers rallied--only to retreat time and time again. Having learned from the bloody battles that characterized his past, Houston knew it was poor strategy to aggressively retaliate. He held off until just one month after the massacre, when he and his army of underdog Texians soundly defeated Santa Anna's troops in under eighteen minutes at the Battle of San Jacinto, and in doing so won the independence for which so many had died.
Sam Houston and the Alamo Avengers recaptures this pivotal war that changed America forever, and sheds light on the tightrope all war heroes walk between courage and calculation. Thanks to Kilmeade's storytelling, a new generation of readers will remember the Alamo--and recognize the lesser-known heroes who snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.
History Re-Kindled by Kilmeade! Its Battlecry: "Remember the Alamo!" This was a must buy! I’ve heard Kilmeade speak about this during several interviews. If you’ve heard him speak, he makes history come alive. He knows his subject. He’s confident in what he knows. He’s excited about telling his story. Because of this I bought the Kindle version with Audible audio. He’s the narrator! Growing up with stories of Davy Crockett et al., I have had these rekindled in maybe a much more interesting way and format. It helps us to appreciate the greatness of our country and the heroism and sacrifice that obtained for us, and passed down to us, this “home of the free and the land of the brave.”Come and Take It I am a proud Texanne, and love to read stories of the birth of my Texas—especially the part of the Gonzales Flag. Our ancestors were made of sterner stuff.The book is well-written and an accurate retelling. A worthwhile readA good book about early Texas! I am a student of early Texas history and found things in this book that I wasn’t aware of. Brian has done his research and reported on what he believes is the truth. Did Travis really draw his line in the sand and was Davy Crockett captured alive and later executed? I had been waiting for this book and was very satisfied.
