When Bluebonnet comes to San Antonio, the first thing she wants to do is see the Alamo. While rummaging for a nice, big beetle to eat for dinner, she meets Digger Diller, who is old enough to be her grand-diller. He tells Bluebonnet the tale of his great-great-grand-diller's involvement in the Battle of the Alamo. Bluebonnet is fascinated by the enthralling story of Santa Anna, Jim Bowie, and William Barret Travis. But Digger Diller has a surprise for Bluebonnet. After the battle was over, Great-Great-Grand-Diller found Jim Bowie's famous knife. The knife was passed down, diller to diller, until it came to Digger Diller. Bluebonnet is excited to think about how much it would mean to all Texans to have Jim Bowie's knife on display at the Alamo Museum! But Digger Diller isn't so sure; the knife is his family treasure, and Great-Great-Grand-Diller probably wouldn't approve of him giving it away. Digger Diller agrees to donate the knife, but after Bluebonnet's plan goes awry and the knife is nearly lost, Digger Diller begins to regret his decision. After this adventure with her new friend, Bluebonnet will always "Remember the Alamo!"

Hale relays the facts, politics, military actions, and prominent personalities that defined the Texas Revolution in factual yet humorous scenes that will capture the attention of reluctant readers and fans of history alike. In the early 1800s, Texas was a wild and dangerous land fought over by the Mexican government, Native Americans, and settlers from the United States. Beginning with the expeditions of the so-called "Land Pirates," through the doomed stand at the Alamo, and ending with the victory over Santa Anna at the Battle of San Jacinto, the entire Texas saga is on display. Leading the charge to settle this new frontier is Stephen F. Austin, with a cast of dangerous and colorful characters, including Jim Bowie, William Travis, David Crockett, and others. Through his vivid depiction and additional maps, and biographies located in the back of the book, Nathan Hale brings new insight for students, teachers, and historians into one of the most iconic structures in the United States.

Download or read book Made In Texas written by Michael Lind and published by . This book was released on 2009-04-28 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone knows that President George W. Bush is from Texas. But few of us know the role his home state plays in his presidency, and in our country. In this dual biography of man and state, Michael Lind confronts the chief crises of Bush's presidency--the economy, the Middle East, and religious fundamentalism--and traces their roots back to Texas, a state, Lind argues, that yields salient clues to the future course of our country.Widely praised as an iconoclastic and brilliant political observer, Lind, a fifth generation Texan, chronicles the ethnic clash that produced modern Texas, the well-known plundering of the state's natural resources at the hands of its elites, and finally the deep strain of "Old Testament religiosity" which, having originated in Texas, now reaches all over the globe in the form of Bush's foreign policy.In the tradition of Gary Wills's Reagan's America, Made in Texas provides a wholly original cultural history that should change the way we understand not just our president, but our country.
