Paperback
(Forgotten Books Nov. 16, 2016)
Excerpt from In the Shadow, of the Alamo
More than two hundred years ago Spanish missionaries built a chain of fortress-churches stretching from the Sabine to the Rio Grande. To-day these churches are ruins.
Out of the chaos of crumbling stone, rusting iron, fading colors, and defaced carvings stands one picturesque edifice, grim, sinister, silent, marked by the scars of battle and stained with the blood of brave souls who fought and died in its defence.
