In 1986, The Alamo Journal, the official publication of
The Alamo Society, began to meet the demand for those who wanted to know
more about the Alamo of history and the Alamo of popular culture. Over the
years, a number of articles, penned by professional and amateur
historians, have added to our collective understanding of the siege and
battle of the Alamo. As a result of the contributors’ efforts since the
Texas Sesquicentennial, every major book written about the Alamo and its
participants has included references from The Alamo Journal.
This humble volume features a representative sample of articles printed in
The Alamo Journal.

JAMES
CLINTON NEILL
By C. Richard King James
Clinton Neill could be the unsung hero of the Alamo and the battle for
Texas Independence. It was his failure to obey Sam Houston's command to
abandon the Alamo that left Texians in the mission and gave Texans their
cradle of liberty.
The commander of the Alamo brought an unusual background to Texas. He had
served in the Alabama legislature and had fought in the Battle of
Horseshoe Bend. Included in this biography are details of Neill's Irish
and American heritage, his part in the "Come and Take It"
incident at Gonzales, and his work with the Constitutional Convention at
San Felipe. Until now, James Clinton Neill has rarely received more than a
footnote reference.

THE DAVY CROCKETT ALMANAC
And Book of Lists
By William R. Chemerka
The real Davy Crockett has been hard to define. Was he "half-horse-half-alligator" or an inarticulate representative of poor canebrake squatters who, like him, saw the Western horizon as a place of economic opportunity? Was he a self-promoting politician or a genuine democrat who fought for those citizens who lacked a voice in government? Perhaps Crockett was an uncommon man. In any event, the author helps the reader explore the life and legend for a more thorough understanding of the famous frontier hero.
