The novel includes a chronology of events (from June 30, 1835, when William Barret Travis, under a secret pact with Anglo leaders at San Felipe de Austin, drove out the new Mexican garrison opposite Galveston, to February 23, 1836, when the thirteen-day siege of the Alamo began). In thirteen chapters, 13 Days to Glory tells the story of how 182 men fought a losing battle but won for their cause an almost unparalleled measure of fame. The familiar figures appear on these pages (stern young Colonel William Barret Travis; the middle-aged fighter Jim Bowie, who contested the young upstart’s comand; famous frontiersman Davy Crockett, soon to have his stock in legend rise even higher). The volleys fired by the Alamo defenders were aimed at the large and well-outfitted army of Santa Anna (self-styled Napoleon of the West). As the days of the siege are described, the author cinematically flashes back to pivotal points of destiny—the circumstance that led each person to be inside the walls of the abandoned mission late in the winter of 1836. https://www.amazon.com/13-Days-Glory-Southwest-Landmarks/dp/0890967075
