Description
Building on the success of Did You Hear What Happened in Salem?, acclaimed historian Katie Kennedy presents the larger-than-life historical figures, daring escapes, heartless betrayals, and noble sacrifices that led to the infamous Battle of the Alamo and the birth of the state of Texas.

In the 1820s, when Texas was still a part of Mexico, settlers from the United States began to pour in. They brought covered wagons, chickens, and cannons. They brought enslaved people. And they brought grand ideas about what they should get to do in their new land, which were basically: whatever they wanted.

The Mexican government wasn't so sure about that. But as more and more settlers moved in, the big personalities, rash decisions, and grand proclamations piled up. When these new "Texians" decided to declare independence, fighters like William Travis, Jim Bowie, and David Crockett came forward to resist the proud General Antonio López de Santa Anna and his army. They would face off at an old church in San Antonio, known as the Alamo.

And I saw it all.

With a funny and surprising first-person narrator, Did You Hear What Happened at the Alamo? offers a brutally honest--and wildly entertaining--new account of the creation of Texas and the stories we tell about our history.
