Reconsider the Alamo
Tuesday, September 28, 2021 by Tai Moses
Austin-based authors Bryan Burrough, Chris Tomlinson and Jason Stanford joined forces to research and write the timely new book Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of the American Myth, which purportedly tells the “real story of the Alamo, dispelling the myths, exploring why they had their day for so long, and explaining why the ugly fight about its meaning is now coming to a head.” The three writers will be discussing their book at a free, outdoor, socially distanced event hosted by the city’s Museums and Cultural Programs Division. Get advance tickets on Eventbrite. Friday, Oct. 22, 7 p.m., Zilker Hillside Theater, 2206 William Barton Drive.
