The Alamo: An Illustrated History

by artist and author George Nelson

Paperback - 112 pages (January 1998)
Aldine Pr; ISBN: 0965915905 ; Dimensions (in inches): 0.34 x 10.96 x 8.54

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.
