Description:
A huge, riveting, deeply imagined novel about the siege and ì
fall of the Alamo in 1836-an event that formed the consciousness ì
of Texas and that resonates through American history-The Gates of ì
the Alamo follows the lives of three people whose fates become ì
bound to the now-fabled Texas fort: Edmund McGowan, a proud and ì
gifted naturalist whose life's work is threatened by the war ì
against Mexico; the resourceful, widowed innkeeper Mary Mott; and ì
her sixteen-year-old son, Terrell, whose first shattering ì
experience with love leads him instead to war, and into the ì
crucible of the Alamo. The story unfolds with vivid immediacy and ì
describes the pivotal battle from the perspective of the Mexican ì
attackers as well as the American defenders. Filled with dramatic ì
scenes, and abounding in fictional and historical ì
personalities-among them James Bowie, David Crockett, William ì
Travis, and General Santa Anna-The Gates of the Alamo ì
enfolds us in history and, through its remarkable and passionate ì
storytelling, allows us to participate at last in an American ì
legend.
