Stephen Harrigan is an excellent writer, but I was disappointed in this work. His ?pledge of absolute fidelity to the truth of the events? should continue with ? as I interpret them. In many ways his book is historically accurate, but he lost credibility with what appear to be repeated attempts to intentionally degrade the Texians. Yes, Texas was a desolate place that attracted a rough crowd with questionable pasts. Bowie and Houston were alcoholics. Travis had ?an eye for the ladies?, Susannah and Angelina Dickinson may have prostituted themselves in their efforts to survive. But his comments struck me as blatant attacks on the defenseless. His insinuation that the siege has been presented as a ?glorious? event is incorrect. His comment that the Alamo garrison had ?given their lives ? but oh, not willingly, not exaltedly? is disappointing. Around a thousand people gave their lives in the Alamo siege. They all deserve better than this.
