Silenced Revelation About An Icon: Suicide of the Alamo's Commander, William Barret Travis (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781794876965)

Young Lieutenant Colonel William Barret Travis was one of the most legendary and iconic heroes of the Alamo. Travis commanded the Alamo with distinction and great bravery until his dying day on March 6, 1836, when the Alamo was stormed by large numbers of Mexican troops and every garrison member was killed. The true story of Travis' death has long been obscured by the enduring romance and legends of the mythical Alamo. This is the first book that has taken a closer and more detailed look at the death of the Alamo's famous commander to reveal how Travis actually died-contrary to the romantic myths-by his own hand when he suddenly found himself caught in the most desperate of combat situations at the embattled north wall.
