"Here is a historian with the vitality and drive to match his subject. A reporter
of the first rank, he can clothe the dry bones of history with the living stuff of which today's
news is made."Chicago Tribune

"The majority of the stories of the Alamo fight have been partly legendary, partly hearsay and
at best fragmentary. It has been left to John Myers Myers to present an exhaustively researched
book which reveals the chronicle of the siege of the Alamo in an entirely different light. Myers'
story will stand as the best that has yet been written on the Alamo. It's a classic."
Boston Post
