Requests:  0 Summary:  March 1836: The story of the Alamo is familiar to most: more than two hundred Texians trapped in an adobe mission, and massacred. Though the rallying cry of "Remember the Alamo" rang across the country, Houston knew it was poor strategy to aggressively retaliate immediately. One month after the massacre, 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. Kilmeade brings one of the most pivotal moments in American history to life. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hanapepe Public Library Adult Nonfiction 976.40409 Houston Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 976.40409 Houston Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Biography B Houston Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Biography 976.40409 Houston Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Biography B Houston Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList
