With Santa Anna in Texas: A Personal Narrative of the Revolution


With Santa Anna in Texas: A Personal Narrative of the Revolution

Written by: José Enrique de la Peña

Advanced Readers

"The recent discovery of a week’s worth of entries in an untranslated manuscript version of José Enrique de la Peña’s diary opens another chapter in the longstanding controversy over the diary’s authenticity.

In this expanded edition of With Santa Anna in Texas, Texas Revolution scholar James E. Crisp, who discovered the "missing week," discusses the history of the de la Peña diary controversy and presents new evidence in the matter. With this new material and the perspective Crisp provides, the diary should prompt a new round of debate over what really happened at the Alamo."
