Alexander and Dan K. Utley chose to go beyond the familiar military sites of Texas-the Alamo or the San Jacinto battlefield, for example-to feature lesser known locations. The book successfully recovered these "forgotten" arenas for tourists and preservationists alike. Alexander and Utley now return with Echoes of Glory, and the result is another impressive catalogue that highlights the hidden gems of Texas history.Echoes of Glory explores two dozen rarely discussed but equallyMilitary basesTexasFortificationTexasBattlefieldsTexasHistoric sitesTexasTexasHistory, MilitaryTexasAntiquitiesMilitary basesFortificationBattlefieldsHistoric sites355.009764Alexander Thomas E.1931-1505509Utley Dan K.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910797354403321Echoes of glory3814447UNINA
