Publisher's Synopsis

""Remember The Alamo"" is a historical non-fiction book written by Amelia E. Barr. The book focuses on the events leading up to the Battle of the Alamo, which took place in 1836 in San Antonio, Texas. The author provides a detailed account of the political and social climate of Texas during this time, including the tensions between the Mexican government and American settlers. The book also explores the lives and backgrounds of the key figures involved in the battle, such as William Travis, James Bowie, and Davy Crockett. The author describes the battle itself in vivid detail, including the heroic efforts of the defenders and the eventual defeat of the Texan forces. ""Remember The Alamo"" is a comprehensive and engaging account of one of the most significant battles in American history.The keenest sufferings entailed by war are not on the battle- field, nor in the hospital. They are in the household. There are the maimed affections, the slain hopes, the broken ties of love. And before a shot had been fired in the war of Texan independence, the battle had begun in Robert Worth's household.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
