Go find the book “Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth.”

Came out in 2021 to terrific reviews in NY Times and Wall Street Journal. Written by three accomplished TEXANS who ‘combined forces to tell the real story of the Alamo, dispelling the myths…”

And those myths are whoppers!!! As soon as I saw one of the authors was Bryan Burroughs, I immediately ordered the book. It’s a GREAT READ!

Leading the charge AGAINST the book? Ordered it banned everywhere he could? Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick!
