Stories by Shawn Van Breisen and Gary Reed. Art and cover by Shawn Van Breisen. Calibers classics imprint Tome Press presents the story of the Alamo, a tragic chapter in Texas history. In 1836, soldiers fighting for Texan independence battle Mexican forces at a San Antonio mission. Includes historical background, a map, and bios of noted participants William Travis, Jim Bowie, and Davy Crockett. 32 pages, B&W.

1st Printing - Written by Walter Lord. On the morning of March 6, 1836, in an old abandoned mission called the Alamo, a small Texas garrison fought to the death rather than yield to an overwhelming army of Mexicans. Through the years the garrisons heroic stand has become so clothed in folklore and romance that the truth has nearly been lost. In A Time to Stand Walter Lord rediscovers and recreates the whole fascinating story. From contemporary documents, diaries, and letters, he has mined a wealth of fresh information that throws intriguing sidelights on the epic of the Alamo. What were the defenders like? Why did they take their stand? Did any escape? Did Davy Crockett surrender? The cast of characters includes not only famous figures like Jim Bowie but unknown, unsung men: John Purdy Reynolds, the wandering Pennsylvania surgeon; George Kimball, the industrious New York hatter, Micajah Autry of Tennessee, who was a far better poet than a businessman. And then there are the Mexicans: the fabulous Santa Anna; the smooth Colonel Almonte; the forlorn private Juan Basquez, who only wanted to stay home and make shoes. Softcover, 5" x 8", 256 pages, B&W. Cover price $5.95.

Through his vivid depiction and additional maps, and biographies located in the back of the book, Nathan Hale brings new insight for students, teachers, and historians into one of the most iconic structures in the United States.

2019 Bigger Badder Edition - 1st Printing. Story, art, and cover by Nathan Hale. Remember the Alamo! That rallying cry has gone down in Texas history. But what, exactly, should we remember? Who were the ragtag group of adventurers behind the famous slogan, and how did they end up barricaded in a fort against a Mexican army? Who survived, who died, and how?
