If a picture is worth a thousand words then George Nelson's "The
Alamo: An Illustrated History" is worth many times that. Through
much research Mr. Nelson gives you a birds eye view of the Alamo grounds
through the ages with his drawings. Actually I like his drawings
better than the historical drawings and photographs used in the later
part of the book. Its a great book just to carry around the Alamo
grounds as you try to imagine what it was really like in past times.
I recently met Mr. Nelson at the Alamo gift shop. He was holding
court, signing books and telling tales of Texas. Filling all the
tourist with the "real" story of the Texas Revolution. He was
sincere, knowledgeable, and seemed to really enjoy interacting with the
crowd.
