A TIME TO STAND, The Epic of the Alamo by Walter Lord.
by Walter Lord. Softbound, 253 pages, 5" x 8". On the morning of March 6, 1836, in an old mission called the Alamo, a small Texas garrison fought to the death rather than yielding to the Mexicans. Through the years, the heroic stand has been so clothed in folklore that the truth has nearly been lost. The author rediscovers and recreates the whole, fascinating story. From contemporary documents, diaries and letters, he has mined a wealth of fresh information which throws intriguing new light on the epic of the Alamo.
