In March 1836, the Mexican army led by General Santa Anna massacred more than 200 Texians who had been trapped in the Alamo. After 13 days of fighting, American legends Jim Bowie and Davey Crockett died there, along with other Americans who had moved to Texas looking for a fresh start. It was a crushing blow to Texas' fight for freedom. But the story doesn’t end there. The defeat galvanized the Texian settlers, and under General Sam Houston’s leadership, they rallied. Six weeks after the Alamo, Houston and his band of settlers defeated Santa Anna’s army in a shocking victory.

This is a fascinating and important part of American history. It’s a great story, as entertaining as it was edifying. It was apparent, however, that Brian Kilmeade did not really write the book or perhaps had only a small role in its creation. It seemed like he was reading it for the first time. He paused at inappropriate moments and sometimes placed emphasis on words where it mad no sense to do so. He seemed not to know we are a particular sentence was going. I found that distracting, but I would still recommend the book for anyone Interested in a general overview of this topic.

North Carolina attracted settlers from Europe as well as from other American colonies. In this volume, learn about the resulting troubled relations with the Native Americans in that area, Bluebeard's piracy, and the colonist's rebellion against England.

A good short summary of NC history. It points to information that the reader can delve into further if he wants. I am not surprised, but disappointed nonetheless that the Mecklenburg county Declaration of Independence was not even mentioned.

Nearly 20 years before Jamestown was settled, the English established one of the earliest colonies in North America around the Chesapeake Bay region, until the colony had over 100 inhabitants. Like other early settlements, Roanoke struggled to survive in its infancy, to the extent that the colony's leader, John White, sailed back to England in 1587 in an effort to bring more supplies and help. However, the attempts to bring back supplies were thwarted by the Spanish in the midst of the Anglo-Spanish War going on at the time.

Good basic story.
Revisado: 12-04-17
A good basic story. I was happy that the Dare Stones were immediately labeled as hoaxes. Perhaps too much credibility was afforded the Lumbee claim. Overall the story was nicely told. The multiple mispronunciations of names and locations was distracting.
