In thirteen chapters, Lon Tinkle tells the day-by-day story of how 182 men fought a losing battle but won an almost unparalleled measure of fame.
The familiar figures appear on these pages: stern young Colonel William Barret Travis; the middle-aged fighter Jim Bowie, who contested the young upstart's command; frontiersman Davy Crockett, soon to have his stock in legend rise even higher.
Thoroughly documented, 13 Days to Glory also includes a chronology of events from June 30, 1835, when Travis, under a secret pact with Anglo leaders, drove out the new Mexican garrison opposite Galveston, to February 23, 1836, when the thirteen-day siege of the Alamo began.
