We are pleased to announce that Phil Guarnieri and Rick Range have collaborated on a new book, David Crockett Went Down Fighting: How We Know It. The book makes a strong case supporting the position that David Crockett was not captured and executed by order of Santa Anna but was killed in action.
This book primarily focuses on two key elements of proof not previously addressed during this long-standing debate: the time and location of Crockett’s death. If either of these two factors, as presented in the book, are proven to be correct, then Crockett’s execution becomes an impossibility.
This evidence examines the testimony of the eyewitnesses, including those who personally knew Crockett and saw his body immediately following the battle, as well as particular execution details in accounts by Mexican army officers who were present but whose accounts have not been fully considered during earlier debate argumentation. Together, these Texan and Mexican accounts provide strong previously unrecognized evidence for concluding that Crockett died fighting and could not have been among the Defenders who were executed.
The book will be out later this year. If you want a personal email notification when the book is available, press the JOIN US button above, and we will gladly let you know.
We have some things coming up that we will share with you as they unfold. In the meantime, we wanted to suggest you become a part of our faithful community of patriots and protectors—of the Alamo shrine itself and the history associated with the Battle of the Alamo—and the ensuing struggle for independence from Mexico.
Much of our rich history has come under attack in recent years by those who would put modern lenses on events of the past, shading them in an unfair and often disproving light. Viewing history means it must be seen in light of the times, traditions, and political/social trends that were in place when the events happened. And that’s why we are here. To help ensure that history remains untainted by today’s standards. War is messy. History is messy. Interpreting history, especially its wars, is messy. Revealing new evidence lost in the vaults of libraries, universities, personal records, and state archives is one way to enhance what we know about an event. However, drawing conclusions based on standards not existent in that era is dangerous indeed.
