I really loved reading this book! I never knew the reasoning behind all of the raven references at Sam Houston State University. It is so fun to know how much history and thought is put behind all of the things done at SHSU. Sam Houston is a very interesting person to learn about, and I would suggest for anyone who is going to go to SHSU or is from Texas to read this book it is very interesting.

I've always been proud of my state (Texas), but here lately, I've wanted to learn all I can about Texas Independence as well as the Alamo. This book was my starting book into written literature on the Alamo (besides what I learned in my Texas History classes at school).

The introduction in the beginning of the book by the book's editor, Mary Dodson Wade, was very informative and interesting. What follows are eyewitness accounts. I wish there was a bit more of these accounts. It's a very short book, but what I did read was interesting. I also wish there was some clarification that some parts didn't happen that way such as Potter's account at seeing Dickinson die whilst holding his infant daughter which isn't true. Dickinson died, but his wife and his daughter lived. I did enjoy the illustrations in this book although there aren't many which didn't bother me.

If you're looking for a great starting point to read up on The Alamo, this book would be fantastic. It's a fast and short read. I would definitely recommend it.

This is an informational book about the history of Cinco de Mayo. It explains why and how people celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Then, at the end of the book, it gives some vocabulary words for children.

A story of why there is no year of the cat in the cycle of th Chinese calendar. When the emperor decided a way to mark the years was needed he made a competition with the first 12 animals to arrive receiving a year in the calendar. Cat might have been one of the first but was pushed into dangerous water by rat. Rat came in first and cat didnt make it in time. Cat or its descendants never forgave Rat or his descendants.
