Lindley goes around several bends analyzing documents, but ultimately he does not have any real proof for his conclusions. Some of his ideas make sense, but I still don't know if Travis drew that line in the sand or if that story is just a romantic fiction. Trying to make some kind of ultimate sense out of obscure, ambiguous, and conflicting documents is more a matter of faith than scholarship. Lindley seems to think he can separate the facts from the fictions, both intentional and unintentional, but it just can't be done. This book is for real Alamo buffs because of all the sources Lindley analyzes, but there are much better works on the battle and its place in Texas history.
