Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Learn the thrilling true story of the Texas Revolution and the Battle of the Alamo in author-illustrator Nathan Hale's Alamo All-Stars , a Hazardous Tale from the New York Times bestselling graphic novel series!
"These books are, quite simply, brilliant. . . . Thrilling, bloody, action-packed stories from American history." -- New York Times
"Remember the Alamo!" That rallying cry has gone down in Texas history. But what, exactly, should we remember? Who were the ragtag group of adventurers behind the famous slogan, and how did they end up barricaded in a fort against a Mexican army? Who survived, who died, and how?
In the early 1800s, Native Americans, the Mexican government, and settlers from other areas of the United States were fighting over the territory that would become the Lone Star state. Here, vivid illustrations--rendered in black, white, and shades of gray, with tinges of yellow--and witty text tell the story, from Texas's near wilderness beginnings to the Battle of the Alamo and General Sam Houston's ultimate victory over General Antonio López de Santa Anna at the Battle of San Jacinto.
Let "Nathan Hale" tell the tale of the Texas fight for independence from the Mexican government. It features the exploits of the notorious Jim Bowie, as well as Stephen Austin, Davy Crockett, and other "all-star" settlers and soldiers who made the wild frontier of Texas their home--until the bitter end.

"From Nathan Hale, #1 New York Times bestselling author and Texas Bluebonnet Award Master List maker, comes the definitive graphic novel about the Alamo. Hale relays the facts, politics, military actions, and prominent personalities that defined the Texas Revolution in factual yet humorous scenes that will capture the attention of reluctant readers and fans of history alike. In the early 1800s, Texas was a wild and dangerous land fought over by the Mexican government, Native Americans, and settlers from the United States. Beginning with the expeditions of the so-called "Land Pirates," through the doomed stand at the Alamo, and ending with the victory over Santa Anna at the Battle of San Jacinto, the entire Texas saga is on display. Leading the charge to settle this new frontier is Stephen F. Austin, with a cast of dangerous and colorful characters, including Jim Bowie, William Travis, David Crockett, and others. Through his vivid depiction and additional maps, and biographies located in the back of the book, Nathan Hale brings new insight for students, teachers, and historians into one of the most iconic structures in the United States"-- Provided by publisher.
