In 1836, fifteen-year-old Cal and his mother ride across the Texas countryside. Suddenly, they spot thousands of Mexican soldiers approaching on the horizon. Cal knows they mean trouble, so he steers his wagon to the safest place around--the Alamo. Davy C rockett, Jim Bowie, and other soldiers are there, waiting for a fight, but can their small group hold off an entire army? Includes panel art and narrative text.
