"Exhaustive research by a master practitioner sweeps aside layers of legendry to reveal three giants of the Alamo in their true character and significance. Three Roads to the Alamo will occupy the authoritative high ground for years to come." -- Robert M. Utley "William C. Davis's Three Roads to the Alamo is far and away the best account of the Alamo I have ever read. The portraits of Crockett, Bowie, and Travis are brilliantly sketched in a fast-moving story that keeps the reader riveted to the very last word." -- Stephen B. Oates "Davis, a well-regarded biographer of Confederate figures, has turned over every documentary rock about Crockett, Bowie, and Travis, who had never encountered one another until the Texans revolted in 1835. So this book is effectively three books in one, and colorful ones at that...a dense but flowing narrative." -- Bookist "[A] myth-shattering retelling. Three Roads to the Alamo [is] a major and at times daring study." -- Daily Press, Inc. Newport News, Va. "A splendid narrative history, perceptive, authoritative, and moving." -- Kirkus Reviews "A stunning work--well written, exceedinly well-researched, interesting and enlightening." -- Austin-American Statesman "Davis has provided a fresh and challenging look not only at the icons of Texas independence but at the March 6, 1836, battle at the old San Antonio mission in which the three heroes died, as did all the other 180 defenders. From the opening pages, in which the three heroes first meet in New Orleans in 1827, to the post-mortem assessment of them, Three Roads to the Alamo is an illuminating, exhaustive but never exhausting book." -- Rocky Mountain News (Denver) "Exhaustive research by a master practitioner sweeps aside layers of legendry to reveal three giants of the Alamo in their true character and significance. Three Roads to the Alamo will occupy the authoritative high ground for years to come." -- Robert M. Utley, author of 13 books on Western American History "The reality really is far more interesting than the myth, as William C. Davis proves in this ambitious, extensively researched and compelling joint biography. Davis. . . brings a sympathetic, nuanced approach to his task of chipping away legends and falsehoods. He injects blood and marrow into desiccated icons. The Crockett, Bowie and Travis that emerge may be less godlike than some might wish--the three were flawed, fascinating, larger than life. But to evoke them as this book does is to give history a deeply human face." -- Houston Chronicle "There is no doubt this book is the best-researched and best-written history of the lives of Crockett, Bowie and Travis yet published. Mr. Davis makes their lives more exciting and vivid than their legens--a must-read for anyone interested in Texas history." -- Dallas Morning News "Three Roads to the Alamo represents a new wave in Alamo literature that is just beginning to appear in print. This book marks a maturing of Alamo historiography and is a must for any student of this epic event....Highly recommended." -- San Antonio Express News, William C. Davis's Three Roads to the Alamo is far and away the best account of the Alamo I have ever read. The portraits of Crockett, Bowie, and Travis are brilliantly sketched in a fast-moving story that keeps the reader riveted to the very last word.
