Voices of The Alamo

"A fresh approach to the topic in a picture-book format." --School Library Journal " An impressive historical picture book." --Midwest Book Review The story of the Alamo encompasses far more than a thirteen-day siege that ended in a battle on March 6, 1836. In Voices of the Alamo, that story begins in the 1500s with the Native Americans who inhabited the area we now call Texas. Page by page, different voices--among them Spanish, Tejano, Texian, Mexican, and American--are heard, as they describe history from their individual viewpoints. Voices of the Alamo sensitively depicts history from the perspectives of the men and women who lived it. It is an unforgettable tribute to one of our nation's most enduring symbols.
