DRT Alamo and Revolution Juvenile Bibliography

The Daughters of the Republic of Texas Library issued back in 2004 a juvenile bibliography on the Alamo and the Texas Revolution. It consists of about 60 titles, 1/3 fiction and 2/3 non-fiction. The YTR thanks them for allowing the posting of those individual citations and annotations and thanks to the Library staff, especially, Elaine Davis and the list's compiler Lucy Olson. Those postings will often be supplemented with other information on the title. The bibliography's full title and introduction appears below.
THE ALAMO AND THE TEXAS REVOLUTION
An Annotated Bibliography for Parents and Teachers
Kindergarten through Grade 8
"This bibliography is intended to be a guide for parents and teachers who are teaching the history of the Alamo and the Texas Revolution. Books are the only media contained in the list, and most of them were published between 1995 and 2004. Currently available, in-print books are the focus of the bibliography; out-of-print books are included when a topic is not covered by an in-print equivalent. Features that may be of use to teachers are indicated and points that may distract from the study of history are mentioned."
