About This Book
Three Roads to the Alamo is the definitive book about the lives of David Crockett, James Bowie, and William Barret Travis - the legendary frontiersmen and fighters who met their destiny at the Alamo in one of the most famous and tragic battles in American history - and about what really happened in that battle.
Through tremendous research and with unprecedented access to Mexican military archives, Davis strips away the many layers of myth, legend, and fable that surrounded Crockett, Bowie, and Travis during their lives and, even more emphatically, after their deaths, portraying them as they really were - heroic and unheroic, of great stature and deeply flawed, law abiding and lawbreaking.
