This engaging picture book tells the story of land we call Texas from the viewpoints of the many peoples who have called it home.
The story of the Alamo encompasses far more than a thirteen-day siege during the Texas Revolution that ended in battle. 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.
