Hardly were the last shots fired at the Alamo before the Texas Revolution entered the realm of myth and controversy. French visitor Frederic Gaillardet called it a "Texian Iliad" in 1839, while American Theodore Sedgwick pronounced the war and its resulting legends "almost burlesque."

In this highly readable history, Stephen L. Hardin discovers more than a little truth in both of those views. Drawing on many original Texan and Mexican sources and on-site inspections of almost every battlefield, he offers the first complete military history of the Revolution. From the war's opening in the "Come and Take It" incident at Gonzales to the capture of General Santa Anna at San Jacinto, Hardin clearly describes the strategy and tactics of each side. His research yields new knowledge of the actions of famous Texan and Mexican leaders, as well as fascinating descriptions of battle and camp life from the ordinary soldier's point of view.

This award-winning book belongs on the bookshelf of everyone interested in Texas or military history.

A LOT of watch for the money
Color: Grey
I purchased this piece with low expectations but was pleasantly surprised by the quality and overall esthetics. If you are a young man looking for your first watch that doesn’t break the bank, this is the one.

Not giving accurate time.
Color: Grey
Watch looks so fancy and standard but regretted to say that the pins on the bands are coming out easily, and does not giving accurate time. doesn’t worth it. Wish i can return it if possible.

Look and feel awesome!
Size: 11.5, Color: Optic White/Opti
These are awesome shoes - look great really, really white and clean! Love how comfortable they are - and soooo light. I was a little worried they'd get dirty easily, but I've been able to keep them clean. Fit as expected. If you're looking for a great, comfortable, and affordable shoe, check these out!

Great shoe, comfort
Size: 11.5, Color: British Tan/Ivry
Love these shoes, they're super comfy. Laces stayed tied all day. I wear them in a business casual environment, or if I'm going out for a nice meal with my wife. They look good, the color is unassuming and neutral. they also elevate my height, I feel like it gives me an inch or so more versus regular shoes. This is my second pair!
