Victory or Death Edith Elizabeth Pollitz

He was the commander who led a rag-tag army of freedom fighters bent on defending liberty in a battle for Texas independence at the Alamo in 1836. But as he sees the memory of his ghost confronted by hordes of haphazard historians bent on his destruction, William Barret "Buck" Travis finds himself and everything he stood for under fire. Through some freakish fracture in time, he is transformed into modern day San Antonio to face a revisionist future that questions both his mission and motives for leading the battle that cost all who fought in it their lives. Can Lori, a fair-minded beauty and self-driven historian and reenactor, help him navigate past forces set on destroying his legacy, even as he tumbles headlong between historic past and uncharted future, triggered unwittingly by the drop of a hat or ringing of a re-enactor's musket? "Victory Or Death: Alamo Reprise" is a taut historical fantasy from the creative mind of Edith Elizabeth Pollitz that explores the relevancy of what transpired during the famous battle for Texas in 1836 through the eyes of today's revisionist culture. Can Travis withstand the scathing scrutiny that confronts him? Or are he and those who fought under his command to be buried unceremoniously in the annals of history by the very descendants of those for whom they fought and died? The line is drawn: Victory or Death awaits. Ned Anthony Huthmacher, author of the Alamo novel "One Domingo Morning" and moderator for the John Wayne THE ALAMO forum.
