Publisher Comments

From Nathan Hale, #1 New York Times bestselling author and Texas Bluebonnet Award Master List maker, comes the definitive graphic novel about the Alamo.

Hale relays the facts, politics, military actions, and prominent personalities that defined the Texas Revolution in factual yet humorous scenes that will capture the attention of reluctant readers and fans of history alike.

In the early 1800s, Texas was a wild and dangerous land fought over by the Mexican government, Native Americans, and settlers from the United States. Beginning with the expeditions of the so-called "Land Pirates," through the doomed stand at the Alamo, and ending with the victory over Santa Anna at the Battle of San Jacinto, the entire Texas saga is on display. Leading the charge to settle this new frontier is Stephen F. Austin, with a cast of dangerous and colorful characters, including Jim Bowie, William Travis, David Crockett, and others.

Through his vivid depiction and additional maps, and biographies located in the back of the book, Nathan Hale brings new insight for students, teachers, and historians into one of the most iconic structures in the United States.

Texas Annie , October 08, 2016
My kids looooved this book about the Alamo, and even I, a Texas native, learned new things from it! (I will say that the framing device the author uses makes a little more sense if you've already read Hale's first book, ONE DEAD SPY. But it stands alone without having read it, as well.) I'm not sure we would have stumbled on this author's work except that my children took a cartooning workshop from him, and now we're all big fans. Nathan Hale's entertaining and informative graphic novels deserve a wide audience! (Note: There are some deaths in this book, since they occurred in history. My nine-year-olds weren't disturbed by them.) This family says, two thumbs up!
