Description

It was the decisive eighteen-minute Battle of San Jacinto where the famous words "Remember the Alamo!" were first shouted.

In Eighteen Minutes, Stephen L. Moore describes the momentous battle that established the independent Lone Star Republic.

Told largely through the eyes of the participants, the recollections included here are words from over 120 Texan and Mexican soldiers.

The book follows General Sam Houston as he takes command of the Texas Volunteers to lead them to victory six weeks after the fall of the Alamo at San Jacinto, the town since known as the birthplace of Texas liberty.

The battle and its aftermath are covered in great detail and include the capture of Santa Anna, the "Yellow Rose" controversy, and the death of a woman on the battlefield.

Special features include rosters of all Texans involved in the battle, a list of casualties, and the details on other companies involved in the campaign.

Eighteen Minutes is a comprehensive history of how revenge for the defeat of the Alamo was at last achieved.
