Overview

A New York Times bestselling novel, modern historical classic, and winner of the TCU Texas Book Award, The Spur Award and the Wrangler Award for Outstanding Western Novel

It's 1836, and the Mexican province of Texas is in revolt. As General Santa Anna's forces move closer to the small fort that will soon be legend, three people's fates will become intrinsically tied to the coming battle: Edmund McGowan, a proud and gifted naturalist; the widowed innkeeper Mary Mott; and her sixteen-year-old son, Terrell, whose first shattering experience with love has led him into the line of fire.

Filled with dramatic scenes, and abounding in fictional and historical personalities--among them James Bowie, David Crockett, William Travis, and Stephen Austin--The Gates of the Alamo is a faithful and compelling look at a riveting chapter in American history.

  • You don't have to be a history buff to enjoy this story.

    Jessica D. - 6 years 10 months ago

    Readers of fiction should grab The Gates of the Alamo by Stephen Harrigan. Like most superior historical fiction it's more about the people than the history. You do not have to be a history buff to enjoy this story of a frontier botanist and the widow and her son with whom he becomes involved. Even if you don't remember the Alamo, you will remember these characters.
