MUSIC OF THE ALAMO: From 19th Century Ballads to Big-Screen Soundtracks
William Chemerka and Allen Wiener present a wide variety of song samples, ranging from the early 1800s to the present, which illustrate how the Alamo and some of its more prominent defenders (most notably Davy Crockett) have been celebrated throughout the world. Music of the Alamo includes sheet music, movie posters, photos of Alamo-related merchandise, and a number of other images that help explain just how central music has been to the evolution and perpetuation of the Alamo myth. It also includes an extensive bibliography and discography that help guide the reader to additional sources of information.
