I never thought about it when I was younger, but it's very true that, at some point in your schooling, you will learn a bit more than the usual about the Battle of the Alamo as a Texas student. It can be very easy to have names and events blend and blur together when you are a young student.
But no worries if you're not a Texan or if your memory is lacking (like mine!), Max L. Knight has done a fantastic job portraying much of that battle, including what led up to it and the aftermath, in his newest historical fiction book, Ghostly Bugles. By using the mysterious character of The Old Man, Knight gives us an understanding of what was during that time of the Battle of the Alamo. He does so by portraying visions and dreams The Old Man has - which in itself is a great way of portraying the emotions of the time to the reader.
Ghostly Bugles is very well researched and it is clear that Knight knows what he's talking about. He's also able to "show" the reader the workings of history through this fictional character - it's truly a great way to learn and gain curiosity about history!
This book is definitely a must read for history buffs, but specifically - Texas history-buffs. The writing is detailed and grabs your attention until the very last page.
